I think its quite fair to make the same restrictions that exist on cable, 'hands off' and they certainly paid for this technology out of their own budget, not with 'help' from the government(s).

So yes I agree, they deserve to make a return, and its going to be a slow return on their money. They aren't listing exorbitant rates and with some work cable might even manage to keep up to some degree, sort of reversing the relationship that cable has to dsl now.

Given the cost, the investment, and so forth, I think they are pursuing a fair set of legislations. Additionally if someone wants to pay them 1.5x the price to resell it, that seems fair to me too. After all those folks invested nothing.

I don't disagree with the actions, and I'd look forward to seeing fiber at our house.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10843583 Thu, 22 Jul 2004 02:09:12 EDT Re: Screw Verizon http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10839710 Marilla :

So they are "poised" to deploy fiber. Well I am "poised" to win the lottery.

Who will get done first.


They will... long, long before you.

Plus, it seems they are already deploying it, actually. Imagine that... you got your first annuity payment yet?

Well to be honest I can understand where VZ is coming from. If federal and local governments put the same restrictions on VZ fiber as they do on VZ copper then there is no point in trying to deploy the technology because it would force VZ to share the lines it deployed with rivals who mostly likely won't pay enough to help off-set the cost of purchasing and laying down the lines.

If I were the President at VZ, I'd do the same thing.
Very good point.
