Q2 Slowest In Eight Years For Broadband Growth > Market is Saturated

Re: Market is Saturated

Agree, you can only milk these areas for so long before everyone is either sick of their business practice, already have broadband, or doesn't want it. So, the feasible option would be to "broaden" their market by expansion. That's too difficult for them to understand.

Just like all those stupid AT&T Commercials about their horrible broadband service here. The majority of their commercials hit where people don't have broadband so they are pointless.
I don't have it can't get it cause I'm just out of range. My friend has it and only gets 768 down and like 20k up cause of the horrible line quality.

They are trying to upgrade alot of those areas to UVerse but I just don't see it coming here still.

It might not be financially viable to serve more rural areas with the current technology. If you have 20,000 potential customers all living within a 5 mile radius, it's much easier to support and setup than it would be to service an area 5 times as large with only 10% of the potential customers. In many cases, it's simply not profitable enough (or at all) to justify, when there are more lucrative avenues to travel down that have not been completed exhausted yet.

Current tech, maybe not. Wimax/lte may change that.
