| Open Your FiOS Network! You want cable companies to share their TV networks? How about you share your fiber network so competitors may enter the market. I can get twenty flavors of DSL but only one fiber connection. |

kudos:2 | In some markets FiOS is open resellers. They are just not mandated to do so,or to do it at a reduced rate. |

Oh and also we are not talking about sharing infrastructure. IT is about making programming available.

Sharing channels and sharing networks are two different things.
Cablevision has not spent 50billion dollars on msgHD. |

A quick Google search brought up DSL Extreme as a FiOS reseller. |

but they spent money on the Network they own. Cablevision is just like any other Network. They decide who gets the network and at what price. The same with ESPN and Scripps TV. |

What does one have to do with the other? It's about exclusivity.
Cablevision owns the MSG channel. Verizon owns the FiOS network.
They each have decided to control where those products can be seen - i.e. MSG can be seen only on cable, not on FiOS, and Verizon doesn't open up the FiOS network to competitors as widely as they are mandated to do with the copper network. |

Re: Open Your FiOS Network! It's a very big deal. Clearly Verizon is allowing resellers access, which is much more than we can say for AT&T and U-Verse.

Cablevision developed a product and should be free to sell it to whoever it chooses to. Consumers always have a choice to get MSG HD, and that is to subscribe to Cable. |

It is a big deal because Verizon isn't mandated to do it. It's pretty clear from reading the articles about it that they'll offer it for resale from other ISPs, too. DSL Extreme was simply the first to take them up on it. |

How many resellers does Buckeye Cable have for its service? 1 is better than none. |

| reply to woooo
While we are at it we should mandate that all store owners open up their shops for other people looking to sell goods and services. |

Buckeye is not a phone company. |
