Re: Not so fast It was a desperate move by Verizon. They realized that DSL could not compete with cable, and they were quickly losing their POTS customers to cheaper VoIP solutions.
For residential services, the telcos were doomed unless they made some drastic changes. And without the benefit of having TV services and their own VoIP solution, they would not have been able to sustain the cost of providing FTTH. Internet service alone would not have been worth the required expenses.
Personally I am thrilled to see competition spring up practically overnight. I'm rooting for cable to shine as well as fiber. I don't care what technology is being used, just as long as it keeps improving. |
