Re: Open Your FiOS Network! In some markets FiOS is open resellers. They are just not mandated to do so,or to do it at a reduced rate. |

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.

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. |

| Doesn't matter, they should open their network. Verizon is not under any requirement to share it FIOS network, but it has chosen to do so. When cable astroturfers whine about their only being 1 CLEC who can offer services over FIOS they should look at how open their network is/is not to CLECs/Competitors. |

It is a very wise move on VZ's part - shields them from anti-trust crusaders (despite the fact they were given a monopoly per FCC, that won't stop pols from making headlines...). Its also a good business decision - shows they're not afraid of wholesale competition.
Lets hope that VZ continues to be smart, and offer lower-cost/lower-rate FIOS, is sensible when considering caps, and fixes their billing problems. |

I hope Frontier is a FIOS TV reseller or former FIOS customers may be screwed.

1 edit | My position here.. On the reselling argument, I don't see cable companies having competitors riding over their networks..
On the argument of VZ FIOS being a monopoly.. As long as there is at least 1 competitor out there, ie: cable, maybe sat too, then VZ FIOS does not have a monopoly.
On the DSL Extreme route, I don't think its a good thing for VZ to have offered up. What if they change their mind later, is DSL Extreme just going to gracefully back down and hand over all their subs to VZ as FIOS customers? I'm not sure why they elected to go this route. |
