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. |

| 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. |
