Re: Maybe That's a ridiculous comment. If the public doesn't want it, the investment is not sound, period! Cable/DSL (mostly) have no issues handling the bandwidth that 99% of the country needs. Now, could it matter in 5-10 years? Perhaps. But if that's the case verizon could've waited and saved even more money.
I can't believe you just posted that comment. |

Palm Desert, CA | "I think the FiOS decision was sound, but the public and the applications were not there. I've said this before, people want cheap fast service, and are not willing to pay for the higher end products. Then the applications that require a bigger pipe are not there."

I never said the Public doesn't want it, for that matter the Public or the Average Person doesn't know what they want! The only thing the Average Person wants is cheap, reliable service. No loyalties, or even thinking about the future, just Now, what can you give me right Now? I worked in the Telco Industry for 31 years, so I know what I am talking about. If you don't think at least 10 years ahead, you are doomed for failure. You are saying that Verizon could have waited, and used what, their existing Copper. AT&T did this, and I say that was a mistake. The Public thinks it's okay for now, but the Bandwidth is just not there with Copper. Also, Copper gets old and has to be replaced....More Cost. So I don't think my comments are ridiculous, but only a short time will tell the difference. |
