(broadband)- You can't equate next generation DSLAMs and the 24mbit tier as next generation broadband now that the cable companies have breeched the 100mbits (4x +) barrier--at least on the downstream.

Cable & Telco companies are using some rather old tactics to try and whitewash the old battered image of greedy broadband companies screwing consumers and offering less for more all the while taking anti-comptetitive behavior to all new record highs (or lows depeding upon your perspective).
Wouldn't it be reasonable to just overprovision the fiber at the dslams (in the highest ROI//aka high subscribership rates) so that one day they can be replaced by the last mile fiber to the premesis?
Big business always finds ways to waste money to refurbish, rebuild, and manage their public image. Will it matter is toyota rebrands its cars which had out of control brakes & gas pedals after over 12 people died due to out of control vehicles? Neither will renaming Comcasts and AT&T's broadband services to suit marketing whims. Brands get build by doing right by the consumer, and most of the telecom industry doesn't have alot to be proud of in the past decade, because consumers got more than taken advantage of in the deployment (valued into the billions) in telecom infrastructure-- more than enough to offset the good will by deploying it in the first place. |
