The NKC FTTS project? No, it's only for the small city of North Kansas City, not to be confused with Kansas City North. -- -----»hotcarl.diaryland.com |

| reply to TelecomJunky well then, TWCKC customers can look forward to rising bills, no VOD, random service issues and wicked annoying self centered promotions from Comcast about how Comcastic it is to be a comcast customer (which it isn't). Oh yeah, the channel line up will shrink too. -- Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die, and the world death rate holds at a steady 100.00% |

| reply to moby866 It should be noted that although TW and Comcast are in the KC area, they do not compete with each other. And a deal has already been made to trade their respective assets in KC and Dallas to give Comcast all of the KC area by years end. -- -----»hotcarl.diaryland.com |

| In the KC metro area, we have Comcast, Time Warner, AT&T and a few minor players for broadband.
Anything that helps the people get more control over the network is great news. With AT&T and the cable companies promising innovation and then delivering basically nothing, perhaps this will get their collective attention and prompt some real action in the area of building a better network and access model in this area, rather than just press releases. Plus this might inspire some of the many suburbs to get up the nerve to build their own networks. I would not complain if the city I lived in built a high speed network to compete against Comcast and AT&T. Maybe then AT&T will bother to get DSL working for more than just a few locations in the city. -- Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die, and the world death rate holds at a steady 100.00% |
