Re: One serious question

Its a matter of want. Whether the foot print is 10 square miles or 10,000 square miles if they wanted to (had true competition) they would do it. Cost of bandwidth to them is not nearly the monster they make it out to be.

 Its not the cost of bandwidth, its the cost of infrastruture to deliver that bandwidth. If you look at how much fiber OOL has vs the other cable companies, its a huuuge difference. The reaosn OOL has so much more is because of there small(er) footprint.

Cablevision has a node every 10th pole in FIOS areas. This is very recent. Awhile ago a node was hard to find. This has to be costing Cablevision a few bucks. A CATV node needs power and battery backup to convert from glass to copper. An outage of a few hours will drain the batteries and there is no generator backup. Verizon's nodes are passive, no power required.
