Re: Verizon should choose more than one vendor.
said by Gilitar  :By limiting yourself to one vendor you open yourself up to stuff like this. They need more than one box manufacturer to ensure supply is sufficient. That is the way to solve the problem. Obviously, Motorola, which lately can't do anything right, has problems building and supplying these sets to all the ISPs. The only solution is to give contracts to other builders. I am sure they can ramp up factories in China pretty quickly if several ISPs give contracts to other companies.

Don't think this was a Motorola problem, more a Verizon/cox not placing an order far enough ahead.
If you anticipate the need (driven by there own advertisements) for a "Boatload" (this scales far above the the usual forklift or truckload upgrade) you need to place a firm order with the Mfg.
Motorola isn't in the position to build/warehouse millions of units, and sit on them hoping someone will place a big order.
It's a side effect of lower margins/just in time Mfg strategies .. sometimes it's not just in time. |

Why you talking about ISP when they don't offer TV? |

ISPs and Cable TV and telcos are one and the same in the great TV/Data convergence.
