| Fios video penetration 25%; Comcast 48% Verizon may want to pause and consolidate because their penetration % for FIOS TV is only 25% and the industry they are competing against(Cable) is at 48%. Their profits can increase dramatically if they can improve that uptake rate. With improved profits they can then resume rollout to new areas. |

| That's not true everyone. At least in terms of franchise fees, Fios has passed Comcast in at least one market.

The numbers don’t necessarily indicate which provider has more customers, but they do serve as a measure of each company’s success in the market.
Verizon, however, will soon leave the Fort Wayne market. Frontier Communications Corp., a telecommunications company that specializes in serving rural markets and small cities, is acquiring about 4.8 million Verizon phone lines for $5.3 billion in stock. The deal, which includes Fort Wayne’s FiOS television service, is expected to close in less than a year. Verizon is abandoning the market and selling to Frontier.

What, if anything,is Verizon/Frontier telling Ft. Wayne FiOS customers about this transfer to Frontier??
Verizon/Frontier is making a mistake, if they don't communicate with FiOS customers in Indiana/Oregon/Washington .
If I were Comcast, I would be targeting known FiOS users/neighborhoods, and prey on their fear.
Verizon FiOS should be using commission salespeople door-to-door, direct mail, any kind of direct contact. Sounds to be that they are wasting their $ on mass marketing. |
