How crass. It's not "rich" it's "comfortable".  |

sucks to be a "havenot". I'm a "have" but guess what? i live in a (QWEST)Qworst state so no FIOS fibre for me either. Cox is as good as it gets in arizona.

"'Our initial deployment areas, they’re where we’ve seen an appetite for broadband and where we think people will want to buy it. As time goes along we’ll deploy it in more and more of our service area,' Verizon spokeswoman Sharon Cohen-Hager said." |

Re: Rick Folk
It has nothing to do being rich. They need to choose an area with as dense housing as possible where people are willing to pay for phone, tv, and internet. That is middle class. Rich neighborhoods have less houses because of bigger yards. The middle class is the sweet spot. Denser housing with the ability to pay for all 3 services. You would only see a product hit a rich neighborhood first if they were going to set a special higher price just for that neighborhood or someone higher up in the company lived in the rich neighborhood and can overlook the ROI factor. |

Re: Rick Folk
Lets also remember that the cable companies followed the exact same roll-out strategies, on a much slower pace. Here in NYC Cablevision first (and much delayed) offered cable TV in the middle 80's (about 7 or 8 years after the rest of this tri-state-area was already receiving cable TV) and FINALLY offered cable broadband in 2001. The cable internet roll-out was most interesting. They first offered the service in the most affluent portions of Nassau County (Long Island), then slowly worked their way into their franchises in Brooklyn and the Bronx (LAST). It took (I believe) over 10 years from introduction of Optimum Online in Nassau County until all areas of their Brooklyn and Bronx franchises were offering Optimum Online. Lets hope that Fios is lit here in Brooklyn before I need to apply Grecian Formula For Men. |

Maybe it's not the "rich" getting it, but the "rich" areas. Or perhaps Verizon is cherry picking certain areas? They would NEVER do that though would they?

If you're not "considered" rich, I don't know wtf is considered rich. |

Between me and the other half we make about 70k a year, not rich by any means. And boy, would I love FIOS though, that would be hot. And also, if only the "rich" areas are getting it, and people who aren't "rich" are getting it, kind of throws the "rich" areas only idea out the door if you ask me. |

That is not rich. That is upper middle class. Rich would be someone making over a million dollars a year. |
