ptrowski..you might want to run along and find someone on this site who could begin to give you an idea of what a THREE HUNDRED MILE fiber plant extension would cost. I mean..surely you've seen the posts where people talk about the thousands involved just for a relatively few FEET to get to their homes..right?
And then, ask yourself about all the uncertainty of how many of those 6000 people will even sign up..what they'll sign up for..
how long they'll stay..and try to figure out how long it will take to ever recoup an investment like that.
Perhaps you'll then change your tune.
Rick, as Pullo suggested below now all of VT is some backwoods hickville. There are some very upscale neighborhoods there. Comcast would not go and do that out of the goodness of their own hearts, there is ALWAYS something in it for the corporation. You and I both know it.
