This may appease regulators while Verizon accelerates subscriber base. Getting customers is more than just putting the cable in the street, it's also the marketing which can get expensive. Sure we here count the days but there are many who don't know the difference or see the point of a 5+Mb connection. This is where the marketing dollars of other ISPs like DSL Extreme help Verizon. Verizon gets a good portion (guessing since they're in the position to set the price) the money for the sub without having to do the legwork.
It's a win-win for Verizon and their customers. Appease regulators, increase subscriber base. -- Don't get it, demand it! The Anime Network www.theanimenetwork.com |
