Re: One Can Only Hope
Well, it's abundantly clear that fiber is the future. I think AT&T was fooling themselves thinking light speed could deliver the bandwidth needed for today's and tomorrow's bandwidth hungry uses. To dump billions into what really amounts to nothing more than a stopgap measure would be foolish.
The plus side, if AT&T decides to go the FTTH route, it will give some validation to Verizon's Fios deployment, keeping the stockholders there at bay.
The existing copper plant nationwide is pretty much obsolete. DSL is/was a stopgap measure until FTTH could be rolled out.

The future is in Korea; the future is in Japan; the future is in Sweden; but it ain't in the U.S. - for golly sakes, the future is closer to France than it is to us. |

Tiny little countries with government subsidies. Look at this map. The North East serves more subscribers then those tiny places. If the govern would get there greedy franchise hands off fiber it will take off. |
