Re: FiOS is being installed in M.D.U.'s !
epfenning: Uhmmmmmm exclusive contracts were struck down by the courts in some areas. Not sure about federal policy yet however. Then you have the exclusivity contracts between buildings and providers.
In NYC, there is NO exclusive rights where I am for the city. We have RCN (Equivalent of Knology), Verizon copper and Time Warner Cable in my MDU. I do not know however if there is an exclusive which can prevent Verizon FIOS from coming in. Its up to the contract the co-op board has signed. By the front of the building I used to see RCN + Time Warner flyers for service. If we have Verizon POTS as well as RCN AND Time Warner, Im wondering if Verizon will be able to come in with FIOS? But if they come in with FIOS, doesnt this deactivate the buildings copper wiring? Or is this in addition to the existing POTS?
I suspected that due to Verizon's overwhelming financials resources that MDUs would come online en mass AFTER the MCI merger is finalized by year end. |
