Re: Not so fast Forgotten costs:
when i claimed the 4000/unit, it was more than just laying a peice of fiber to the house. that number is a culmination of many different variants: retraining techs, physical fiber, new testing, equipment, and the biggest cost of all (lost in this whole thread); the cost of tv. remember, providers PAY most networks for the right to broadcast them; espn is at the top of the list @ $3 per subscriber. viacom, disney, grints....verizon had to sign multi-year contracts with all of these companies
the cost of deals that verizon had to make was monumental, and not included in the 23billion they claimed was the investment; most of that was physical fiber, and onts. |
