| Verizon is finally getting the picture that they can't increase shareholder value by raising prices... the next best thing... buy out your main copperline competitor, MCI (worldcom) the idea being to get bigger this brings back a several million copper lines that were officially with a clec now back with an ilec. (competitive carreir versus an incumbant carrier - re: 1986 telco breakup) The branches of the rboc are connecting witht the trunk again only divided by east and west coasts.. att on one side... mci on the other.. and sprint is making beautiful music with nextel.
Only problem is the deployment of fiber will take years to complete by that time wireless will have gone though a broadband revolution with minimal blackout areas in the country, creating unlimited calling plans, push to talk and video/data.
My gues is the sprint/nextel without a mainway into a bundle will have to side with a cableco(or two) for quad-play servives. Internet,Phone(wireless/wireline), TV, pushtotalk, wireless data | |

Atlanta, GA | Does this mean ... Verizon will be expanding beyond their $75 Million, 65,000-household initial FIOS plans? Or, does it mean a previously targeted location is getting axed as a result? | |

| FIOS is about the only way Verizon is going to get more money out of me at the moment. I'm an Optimum Online subscriber and I'm moving most of my home phone service to Vonage (keeping one line with Verizon since I'm a little paranoid about not having any landline service at all - I might get over it eventually). So, it would be sort of ironic to move phones to broadband but get the broadband from Verizon  | |

I live in Union County, NJ and I'm 18k+ feet from my CO so I can't get DSL.
They can run new fiber to my house but they can't do anything about my current line length. | |

DSL has limitations. Get over it. I cant DSL either. I have to wait for fbier

| bombshell? "That makes 13 states where Verizon workers are digging up streets, installing boxes on phone poles and replacing traditional copper phone lines with thin glass fibers that transmit data at the speed of light"
so they are actually replacing copper lines, so wether you like it or not your stuck with verizon as a internet provider,(unless you have a cable co,wifi, ect.) i dont think some people that only check their email on dial up are going to like that idea. if its still in its "trial" stages why would they rip up the copper lines? sounds to me like verizons planning on going legit with it and America will wake up one morning to nothing but fiber and verizon will own it all
of course i wouldent mind having a super high speed 3 millisecond connection, but with the many many ignorant people with infected computers with no security i can see a big virus problem

| Re: bombshell? what makes you think that your dial up modem wont work over the voice spectrum portion of the fiber?
In other words the fiber doesnt know or call that a dial up modem is connected to the phone line... it will carry it just like it will carry your voice

You may have copper, but eventually somewhere your copper is hitting fiber regardless of what is linking to it. | |
