Of COURSE it is about the money. The point is one company is taking "smarter" risks than another. Verizon's big risk right now is to stop growth and convince people that have Fios to buy it. AT&T's big risk is to continue to dump R&D tech research into outdated copper. Comcast's big risk is to lay a 300 mile fiber trunk into mountains to serve 6,000 people along the way. Which one of these specific ventures do you think is going to show more profit at the end of this year?
Ya think markofmayhem? My point is that contrary to Rick's statement Comcast is not doing it because it is "American" and because it is just out of the kindness of their own heart.
