Re: 100% Cable's reach is much bigger than Verizon's copper area. What would be really aggressive is if they started overbuilding AT&T copper areas with FIOS, which would be very interesting, although a high risk/cost investment for Verizon.
They can offer LTE with much higher caps (100+GB) as a replacement for rural DSL in more rural places, but in suburban and urban areas, it is has place in the home, because it, like other mobile networks will become strained just with mobile traffic.
Verizon is already bleeding DSL customers to cable, they have been for years. I think they should go 100% FIOS, and kill off DSL, and try and fully kill off copper. If anything, they could save a lot on maintaining copper, as they could just let them rot, and the few remaining POTS lines could be switched to pairs that still work. |
