Seattle recently conducted a study to determine its best broadband option if it wanted to stay competitive; that option was to deploy fiber to homes and businesses within ten years (by itself, if need be). Yet Qwest, who has no solid next-gen deployment plans, and is suing Utah community fiber planners who got tired of waiting, is angry Seattle isn't taking them seriously. Earlier this year Qwest told the city they had no plans to offer speeds faster than 7Mbps, now they're quick to point out they are running some limited VDSL trials in Denver.
