Boomer86 never say roadkill Premium join:2002-10-18 Walden, NY	they don't need DTV I still remember before the FioS rollout, when VZ was offering DirecTV bundles with their DSL product. A lot of DTV customers live in FioS territory... seems silly for Verizon to own and manage two seperate delivery systems. -- "I finish things... that's what I do."

tschmidt Premium,MVM join:2000-11-12 Milford, NH kudos:5 Reviews: ·Fairpoint Commun.. ·Hollis Hosting	Agree with others that Verizon is focused on FIOS so can't see why they would be interested in acquiring Direct TV. I have no idea what negotiations with content owners is like. I'd think this type of acquisition would only make sense to a wireline carrier that wanted to offer video in a hurry but did not have deals with content owners. /tom
