Re: Little guys leading the way for smaller population areas A lot of the little guys don't really have a choice. Many of them operate ADSL2+ or even regular ADSL and have hit a road block for speed. They need to do something because the wireline business is all they have and many would like to expand to the TV market which is difficult to do when you have ADSL2+ or ADSL. Not impossible, but not practical long term. So it is either VDSL or Fiber, and these choose fiber. |

AT&T and Verizon are finding much juicier returns on wireless. If they didn't have wireless, then they might be considering wider rollouts of FTTP.
In some sense, the iPhone killed FTTP. |
