Re: Verizon & place-shifting
It seems that Comcast and Time Warner are certainly looking into providing similar services.

If anything, Verizon is simply responding to competition. The reality is probably that Verizon wants to control how we use our bandwidth, so that they can position themselves to make even more money from us. Otherwise, why not just offer FiOS 400Mbps now, since the technology can apparently handle such speeds? No, they want to develop money-generating services (ads and other ideas) before they open the floodgates and allow some enterprising new company to take advantage of our new found bandwidth. |
