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....
