Re: Oh, give it up already said by Bobcat:We can't get FiOS in our $650,000 houses, but it's available in the $300,000 condos, so give up on the redlining bullcrap. Exactly. It's all about population density.
That's why the roach motels of NYC will get it whereas million dollar mansions won't. |

It's all about population density. That's why the roach motels of NYC will get it whereas million dollar mansions won't. Actually it`s not as simple as that. Higher population density doesn`t necessarily make it easier to install. There`s actually a middle-density sweet spot for lowest cost of installation. |

| That's exactly what has happened around Baltimore. Most of the surrounding counties have Fios, especially in smaller towns in Harford and Baltimore counties. Engineering of course in important, but it also will come down to Verizon deploying Fios in a few areas where it's easiest/profitable, and using that as a lever to get favorable legislation or tax breaks everywhere else. |
