Re: Screw Verizon

The alternative is do it yourself. I think its quite fair to make the same restrictions that exist on cable, 'hands off' and they certainly paid for this technology out of their own budget, not with 'help' from the government(s).

So yes I agree, they deserve to make a return, and its going to be a slow return on their money. They aren't listing exorbitant rates and with some work cable might even manage to keep up to some degree, sort of reversing the relationship that cable has to dsl now.

Given the cost, the investment, and so forth, I think they are pursuing a fair set of legislations. Additionally if someone wants to pay them 1.5x the price to resell it, that seems fair to me too. After all those folks invested nothing.

I don't disagree with the actions, and I'd look forward to seeing fiber at our house.
