| Verizon CEO comments
Verizon's CEO said, "I don't think anybody in the room would want us to put all the costs [of building fiber networks] into DSL rates."
LOL, seriously? Aside from the fact that, that is exactly what you should do, because that is what every other non-monopoly company has to do, is this guy forgetting about the billions in dollars of profits his company is making off of local phone service? The local phone service profits that have allowed his company to be one of the top ten most profitable in the world? The local phone service profits that his company extracts rent free from the PSTN network our tax dollars paid for? The same local phone service profits that are already subsidizing their well below market DSL prices that they continue to dump and harm thousands of legitimate independent broadband companies that if allowed to grow would be more than willing to pay the investment costs of building on next-gen networks.
What doesn't the government get? The reason the only investments being made in next-gen networks is coming from the RBOCs and cable MSOs is because they are monopolies and no investor is going to put their money into a company that is in direct competition to another company that has a strangle hold on the market and has lined the pockets of our Representatives to insure it stays that way.
Where is the anti-trust commissions on the RBOCs?

FIOS is turning out to be a flop!
Umm yea, sure. The whole country is waiting in line for this.. aside from cable co. employees and investors HAHAHAHA .
If Fios wasnt already showing signs of success, they wouldve scrapped the idea by now. FiOS has incredible ratings and reviews on this site.. its hardly a flop. |
