Re: Open Your FiOS Network!

said by woooo :

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.
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.
