said by Hooper:No need to worry about them losing major dollars over replacing thousands of boxes that in many cases are close to 5 years old.
Sure the 6xxx boxes have probably been fully depreciated and VZ has gotten back their initial investment in rental fees.
However, you're not understanding how CAPEX (Capital Expenditures) work. To fund new boxes, those dollars have to come out of the
current capital expenditure budget. Those are dollars that VZ can't spend elsewhere. CAPEX dollars are limited and VZ must prioritize where limited CAPEX dollars are spent.
I'm not defending VZ here, just explaining how it works.
As both a FIOS subscriber and a VZ shareholder, I trust that VZ management is making the correct trade-offs.
