·Verizon FiOS

Once major flaw with this article is that Verizon reduced by close to on third its wire line foot print, sales to frontier and embark off the top of my head, so the outlay in build costs without FIOS would have been cut substantially over these years, but it remained steady.

This is where the dollars came from, not just charging POTS customers but taking a huge hit to the profit by maintaining the budget for build out with 30 percent less customers

'Tis the problem these days with news articles. Not that there isn't any truth to some points the author makes, but he's clearly prejudicial.

This link provides the missing graphics (although I can understand the appeal of the blackberry version to avoid the tons of ads in the full page). »www.huffingtonpost.com/bruce-kus···287.html

While some might place different weight on parts of Kushnick's analysis, one thing is clear: by pushing investment in wireless, and stalling or killing wireline expansion, network infrastructure falls further behind, to everyone's detriment.

His real point is that the telecoms promise one thing and deliver another, but how is that any different from the way it's been for years. Any time you have a large aggregation of resources, whether economic or political, how can you *not* have lies and half-truths?

Read the other two articles for a glimpse into the state of big telecom.
