| Why, they are telling the truth as long as they have control over your service you're going to have problems. With fiber you're just going to have them faster.

quote:
According to BellSouth executive Bill Oliver, fiber to the home does not provide better telecom services to people - only better "transport" of information (see local report). Both Bellsouth and Cox are busy trying to convince citizens of Lafayette, Louisiana that they don't need to develop a competing municipal broadband system in conjunction with their local utility. One Cox official went so far as to suggest a local government backed fiber system would mean local residents would be spied on by Uncle Sam.
What freaking idiots, this is just another reason to go ahead and push for your own muni broadband. These large companies promise fiber in one breath, and in the next breath they tell you that fiber is not worth it. This is pure bull crap, and someone needs to tell these idiots this. I wonder if I can find Bill Oliver's email address.
Sure fiber is transport, but it's a very large transport for tons of better and faster services into the home.
Freaking idiots....

"Search your soul Luke...You know it to be true. Bell South copper has self healing midichlorians built in so that the force is actually part of our network...."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
Nope...no future in that fiber stuff....
See »www.tricitybroadband.com/misc/la···1904.htm
It seems even SBC has figured out this fiber thing might have merit...
Lying liars......may Jar Jar Binks come live with them.

Verizon plans to add services. It's not just doing fiber for fun. That was the guy's point. Unless you offer services then fiber is... well, just fiber. If you have a bad ISP then fiber, DSL, Cable, Dial-up, it's still a bad ISP and you will still have problems.
It's like having great highways, remember those?, but no cars. Infrastructure counts only when there are services to use it.
