Re: Joy...

Under no circumstances should Verizon be allowed to sell cable Wired Services within Verizons own WIRED footprint. Its Ludacris. This deal cant possibly go through without restrictions.

Verizon FiOS products / DSL / landlines compete with Cable co products. My oh my. It wont be lack of competition, it will be total abandonment !

Not sure what the plans are within their wireline area. but the primary value is putting them back in the markets they abandoned and in those they didn't already have a presence in.
sure it's cellular but with strand mounted mico cells EVERYWHERE cable runs It fits the telco model, and the wifi model for light phone, tablet, and notebook mobility with cable providing video and big pipe services to the homes.

It's all the services everybody wants, wrapped in a single bill like everbody wanted, but NOW you don't like the combined Provider.

VZ hasn't yet, has it? Why would VZ sell CATV in its FiOS markets? That would be a silly business proposition.

Color me silly cause I've always thought there isn't much difference between Verizon FiOS TV & Cable TV especially since my brother in NJ has Comcast fed by fiber optic cable. WHAT?

Of course there isn't much difference between FiOS TV and Cable TV and that wasn't my point. Rather, I was suggesting that there's no business motive for VZ to resell cable TV services in its FiOS markets that TV franchise agreements exist.

·Verizon FiOS

So, Verizon should sell their own products within their footprint, including DSL and landlines. Why? Because thats profitable, and sensible. Since we've established that, its also sensible for them to expand FiOS further into other towns/cities within their footprint? Why? Because thats profitable, and sensible.

So if you dont believe they wont sell Cable within their own footprint, then I guess when the DOJ attaches that restriction, Comcast, BH. TW, Verizon, wont fight it. We'll see.

Yes, because VZ will likely realize larger margins selling its products versus reselling those of other companies.

As I continue to suggest, I believe VZ will refocus efforts on its wireline services after ubiquitously deploying LTE infrastructure.

I don't, and I haven't heard an argument yet the presents a legitimate business motive for VZ to resell a competitors services in its FiOS markets.
