Re: Did you forget something? How is that different from now where they deploy piecemeal per city anyways?
Do you see AT&T covering all of USA's square inch? Even Verizon? No, they cover only where people live and where the density justifies the coverage.
Stop being such an industry apologist. |

Don't even think about cable companies having the same speeds and prices everywhere. Lack of effective competition is the reason why U. S. broadband isn't better. |

There's about two to three templates Verizon follows, but which template they choose from for each area has a lot to do with competition, and the templates are far different from each other.
Who cares what AT&T does with U-Verse -- that whole product line is a low class tier anyway. It doesn't really count. It's slower than anything else. |

And 18-24Mb U-Verse is slow compared to what exactly? They are also getting ready to deploy bonded service. |
