The bright side is perhaps when those in these favored areas all have fiber maybe the rest of us can get on the list for 384 DSL.

This is the next best thing in technology since cheap CD/DVD writers/media, mp3 players, dialup modems, etc, etc, etc. Next innovation must be hybrid cars/trucks. Noone likes wasting gas when a battery could provide lots of the power generated by hi-capacity dynos when the car runs on gas(1-30, vs 30+). Just like FIOS is the cablemodem equalizer, hybrid cars will bring back USA's innovation, if only car/truck mauf's have the guts to invest like Verizon has...

How do you figure? From what I know, only Japanese manufacturers have been producing hybrids. I can't think of a single "American" (which is a joke anyway, considering the parts are all made overseas and simply assembled here) manufacturer that has a hybrid model. Somebody post a link to one if one exists. |

Re: It's easy to grow fast when starting from nothing
Yes! Verizon will probably be at the top of the list with FTTH deployments, next will be municipal deployments, co-ops, next cable companies (LAST PLACE)
Probably verizon is probably laying a few hundred line-miles of fiber cable per day network-wide. By next year, fiber cable should be cheap enough for the other rbocs to try limited deployments or full-scale deployments...
If robust battery backup solutions support the fiber, it can finally retire copper based solutions. Lithium Ion can support ultra-long backup times now |
