Re: VZ made the correct move!

Umm....

I can't speak for Verizon and their roll out plans. I haven't seen any large scale and long term plans. In fact, I beleive they are slowing them down. HOWEVER, it makes their over all roll outs look better, to the overall public, much larger when you roll out (say) 20 small roll outs in several cities and states vs one large deployment in a single city. So, it "appears" that they deployment of Fios by Verizon is HUGE!

C'mon... "Verizon wires 20 cities", though just a small portion, sounds so much better than "Verizon launches Fios in Baltimore MD" (for example...)

In a previous post of yours, you insinuated that whatever sounds good to the investors is o.k.

Verizon is playing the same game Comcast, ATT or TW does.

Um.. doubt that. Unless you took it wrong, I could pretty much care less about investors for the most part.

Further, you should quote what you are talking about.. otherwise, it's just a party in your head and the rest of us are not invited.

(Insinuations don't rank high as they are right up there with assumptions and unlike many, I do NOT care if it's phone or cable.. a rat is still a rat. If you want to get into trends, you should look deeper into mine)

But Brian Roberts loves investors enough to say he isn't worried about FIOS. Behind the curtain, Comcast is VERY worried.

Ahh, but you do care since it is your job and you do spend countless posts defending cable and bashing the telcos. Cable does well, you keep your job. Competition means higher costs for both parties involved.

A rat is still a rat huh? Just like Comcast only doing 16Mbit upgrades for those in FIOS areas only so far.
