Telco Equipment Spending Decreasing New approach to business changes the numbers Telco companies are expected to spend less money on equipment this year than in prior years, according to a recent press release. Well, kind of … the actual dollar amount spent by telcos will be more than in the past but the percentage increase from year to year will be drastically less. This represents the fact that companies are switching over to focused spending and “pay as you go” growth as opposed to the more immediate-investment plans of the past.

No business is going to invest all of its money in equipment purchases day after day, month after month or year after year. If anything, companies like Verizon or AT&T are going to sit back and try to make as much money off of their recent investments as possible, before jumping onto the "Next Big Thing."

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | Let me correct the title. Telco Equipment Spending Increasing, but at a slower rate.
Just like government spending, it never decreases, they just reduce the amount it increases. | |

Las Vegas, NV | "...Spending Decreasing" WTF This is the kind of headline that makes me crazy. The story says the spending is up but the headline says it's down. Half the folks who glance at the story think the telco's spending is decreasing.

| deployment commitments? Does this mean that the deployment commitments are to be scaled back after these two behemoths got huge incentives such as MONOPOLY power/no reseller (verizon) and deployment/price targets (AT&T)?
Verizon is due to pass 3 million homes per year.. does that mean less will be passed in 2007?
Hmmm.. I smell a rat! I bet I know which areas will get Docsis 3.0 and they align with the Telco BLACK HOLES! | |

Canonsburg, PA | Re: deployment commitments? No, it means the costs of deploying FTTH are decreasing. It will cost Verizon less to pass another 3 million homes with FiOS this year than it did last year. | |
