Is UVerse coming to the Downtown LA high rises???
I wouldn't expect it any time soon (if ever). The issue isn't getting a VRAD placed, but the internal building cabling. I install VRAD's in Central Florida, and have ran into a couple different situations:
1) Daytona Beach: the VRAD cabinet is placed just outside a series of 10+ story condos. The lines test perfect TO the condos, but the lines owned by the buildings are horrible... and IF service is available its the worst possible case.
2) Orlando: This is standard for mostly NEW buildings. AT&T places the VRAD inside a bay, and in the buildings telco room. AT&T maintains the cabling and everyone is happy...
So if your building is old(er) then you may be screwed. I see a lot of older buildings still getting frame relay and/or SoNET services. If you need an IP based service, have you checked out MetroE's?
