Re: Wow 100m! said by 54903205:said by baineschile:What markets do FiOS and Comcast overlap in? I am aware of a few places on the east coast (Virginia, NJ) are there any others in the midwest or west? Delaware. Most of Maryland. *All* of Washington, DC. Most of Pennsylvania. (Comcast, in addition to being based in Philly, also is the dominant cable company in most of the non-rural parts of Pennsylvania.) Most of Virginia. (Verizon, not AT&T, is the majority ILEC in Virginia; not just in the Tidewater/Northern Neck region, which is ex-GTE territory, as most of the rest of the state is core Bell Atlantic (and before that, C&P Telephone).)
Further, for the record, while some of the area that Verizon is selling to Frontier Communications is the disconnected/rural portions of ex-GTE territory, some of it goes back to the beginning of Verizon, if not Bell Atlantic (West Virginia, for example, was part of the original C&P Telephone, a core component of Bell Atlantic). West Virginia and New England in particular have historically been among the most difficult in terms of M&R for linepersons (climatologically speaking); no wonder VZ wants to get rid of them. |
