Re: doesn't see the incentive for FTTP... lmao!! "SBC Chief Edward Whitacre Jr says he sees just "doesn't see the incentive for FTTP" ... and notes he probably wouldn't be any more likely to consider FTTH even if prices dropped several hundred dollars."
Oh Puhleeze. -- Laughing my butt off here at 4meg down, 1 meg up ... with latencies out to the bone typically zeroes! ( a 20meg level is in trials, and upto oc-48 available for corporations right now. )
Ed's 'incentive' will be that forward-looking companies are going to absolutely eat his lunch while he's asleep at the wheel.
afnoid: "regular people (not counting power users here) won't pay more than $50 or so for broadband"
How about ~$30 for 1.5meg basic service level FTTU? (bundling clearer and cheaper telephone and cable tv while they're at it?)
Ed's hatin' on something he doesn't want to have to match. Which is fine ... like they said in school ... somewhere there was the world's greatest buggy whip manufacturer, but people buying cars instead of horse-drawn carriages didn't really care.
