Over how many years do they depreciate their network? 10, 15, 20 years?
Verizon certainly intends to grab more than 10% of the market, so that math is very short sighted. If Verizon can grab 40% of the market, and I don't why they would not, then the math works out to $2900 per user.
Furthermore, it's the network that will carry Verizon for the next 50 to 100 years. They will definitely take a hit for the next few years, but that's called investing in your own products. |

Yerington, NV | I really don't care what it costs the providers. Being in a non-municipal area, and way 'out in the boonies' ... I'd almost give anything to get a DEPENDABLE and fast internet speed service.

This is in many ways how cable was viewed when it was first rolled out. It was costly at first, but 10-20 years later, the cash is rolling in (also keep in mind that cash flow, not net income, is much more important from a financial analysis perspective).

40% might even be conservative, especially in the long run. Let's face it. Copper is going to be obsolete, and Verizon is one of the few companies that can see beyond it's next SEC disclosure.
