Re: Concerning Pennsylvania...
I live in Bucks County, and I still haven't received eligibility for Fios yet  . I saw a ton of verizon trucks on the roads near where I live and a bunch of guys in cherry pickers, so maybe they'll have it running in my neighborhood within the next few weeks.
Seriously, if verizon deployed in poor areas, how many people do you think would purchase the service any way? It's simple business. Yeah, some people are gonna get screwed, but it's either provide it to the people who cant afford it or dint care about it last, or give it to them right away and end up spend so much money without gaining any customers or returns. |

Why don't you show how fair minded you are and post the current broadband subscriber rate for Bucks county vs the rest of the HSI capable areas in Pa. Wait - don't, that might prove that Verizon is installing Fiber in areas where it will actually sell. |

Average price of home sold in Bucks county from April 04 - April 05 = $580,000
Average price of homes sold in other parts of Pennsylvania in the same period that may never see Fios due to them not "redlining" = $145,000
Sounds fishy to me...
