"and beefing up the Internet's capacity to prevent that will be expensive."
You are in the buisness of providing data as fast as possible next to your competitor, stop bitching about costs and go the extra mile for the customer. You will only benifit yourself (your pocketbook) if you refuse to upgrade which is standard and expected!  |

If New York City operated in that manner, then we'll see PR's like this about them...

| Ahhh pardon me Mister DaSneaky..... New York City currently is fiscally very healthy with a budget surplus..... this city is run very well considering it's size and population. if you mean private corporations that are headquartered here then that's another thing totally independent of New York.... |

Japanese and Korean lawmakers are more agreeable when it comes to telecom laws. If you told Bell they didn't have to worry about being penalized for any network outlay then you'd see more outlays. |

I meant the population density of NYC compared to Asian countries, not the city itself.

I know, I was just reading about that. Here I am trying to save some money going from Charter's shotty 3mb/256k service for $45 to Verizon's $25 (naked-dsl) 768k/128k. Verizon FIOS hurry up and deploy in Central Mass already! I had better choices and speeds 7-8 yrs ago when I lived in Okinawa, Japan. |

You are kidding right? Ever hear of economy of scale? It's very cost effective to put heavy/high throughput broadband in densely populated areas where the is a large customer base and ample infrastructure to support it.
They can "plan for the future" because the future of the customer base already exists. The whole country is only 374,744 sq km with like 128 million people. Doesn't take a lot of "planning" to figure out that customer base or even worry about the "last mile". |

Well then I'm suprised that Manhattan Telephone and Telegraph hasn't deployed GigE all over the place. It's almost as if Manhattan isn't the only place the local telco serves. |

I dont see sat/cell/voip competing with the ILECs. sat is pretty marginalized and too much latency. cell? well, ILEC's have that already. so they compete against themselves? voip? they have that too.
honestly, the only competition for high-speed internet is CABLE, and with Comcast at $45/mo, doesnt seem like they really see any competition. they KNOW if you cant get good dsl, you got them. thats that. |
