| What's the suprise? This has long been the goal for FIOS and cable companies.
TV, internet, phone, home security and a host of other SUBSCRIPTION services, is the payoff for the buildout investments they made.
Some (more techinical) users will want to DiY it, but for many the "one call, one company" does it all, will be the choice. | |

As long as you get a bigger discount with the more services you bundle, I'm all for it. | |

| Right So Far While TW correctly projected the $160 Triple-Play bill years ago, so too, VZ recognized people will pay more for premium service.
Call me sexist, but women buy those Brinks commercials with the scary-but-attractive-in-a-romance-novel-way white guys breaking down the door, and $30+/month alarm contracts sell like hotcakes.
Likewise for "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up" - another $30 a month for a wireless pendant and a "monitoring center". With implantable technology, remote medical sensing will promise "your diagnostics forwarded to the Death Panel Health Response Team in real time for analysis".
TelePresence hasn't made it to the home office yet, but when it does, it will mostly require a GeekSquad level install to work reliably. Another $40/month or more.
VZ would be crazy to ignore such lucrative, long-term rental income opportunity. | |
