 ·Verizon FiOS
| Did Verizon Spend the $23 Billion Investment Does anyone know if based on their current commitments, they will have invested the full $23 Billion? That is all that Verizon promised. Spending any more than that would only happen if the ROI on the first $23 Billion was better than the expected rate of return. If not, there is no business reason to continue FiOS rollout.
As a FiOS customer, I want them to continue rolling it out to all customers. This will guarantee that they continue to update and support the service. I would hate for FiOS to become an orphaned technology.
It seems to me that the right thing to do is have the government fund a rollout of Fibre to the Home. They then turn the infrastructure over to a private monopoly to run. Then service providers can over Internet, TV, and Phone over the infrastructure. Just my two cents. |

Canonsburg, PA | They haven't spent that much yet but by the time they finish the current FiOS markets it's likely they will have. No fear that it will become an orphaned technology because FTTH is the preferred technology for "greenfield" developments. Even little Cincinnati Bell intends to pass 100,000 homes with FTTH service although that is probably a small minority of the homes Cincinnati Bell passes. |
