I think they should able to expand to the size of Verizon, or ATT. Then we could have true competition...
That would be called a duopoly. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-hey-22065240 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 19:02:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-hey-22064300 said by DaveDude:

Unsure what that means. Comcast has roughly the same, or slightly more Internet customers than AT&T, which is, itself, about twice as large as Verizon WRT Internet. Comcast is already way larger than either AT&T, or Verizon, for TV subscribers (Uverse and FiOS).

So Comcast is hardly "smaller" than either right now.

Since VZ is deploying FiOS TV, and AT&T is deploying U-Verse VDSL TV (and DirecTV), there is competition.The relative footprint of areas served by FiOS or U-Verse is pretty minuscule as compared to those serviced by cable TV. While they are competition in some areas, in most cable is still a land-based monopoly still and has no competition other then satellite. AT&T "deploying" DirecTV should have no bearing on the matter as anyone who could get AT&T'-billed DirectTV could already get it from DirecTV directly.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-hey-22062249 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 08:47:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-hey-22061990 said by brianiscool:

They are still in the dark ages with ADSL.
ADSL, itself, isn't "Dark Ages" technology. The manner of deployment by AT&T is another matter. ADSL2+ can provide competitive speed with DOCSIS 3.0, when properly deployed. Whether at a competitive cost, I couldn't say.

I do suspect that many of the 'small' players will be gobbled up, similar to what is happening with wireless.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-hey-22059626 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:21:03 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/hey-22059338 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/hey-22059338 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:26:58 EDT
