Re: SUE LMAO! Cry about it??? That would suck to build out a headend just for 100,000 customers. That's barely enough for a cable company to build a headend with satellite and fiber feeds for channels.
If Frontier was smart, they'd just continue to pay Verizon to provide the channel lineup to them. And then Frontier can just concentrate on the services.
Or Frontier can phase out TV service when all the FIOS TV contracts are up. Or they can start offering Dish or DirecTV like AT&T and Verizon. |

They already do -- and have been from before the sale was announced over a year ago. |

Frontier already owns most of what you would call a headend. The are called Video Hub Offices and there ate three of them. Indiana, Washington, and Oregon.
The VHOs house much of what makes the FiOS TV service tick.
What they don't have is their own feed for the national channel lineup. Currently this comes in leased from VZs fiber ring.
Plant a handful of TVRO sat dishes and distribute that feed to the VHOs and you're good, right? |
