in regards to your points. 1) Yes, that is true --> and the reason why their is a shift to focus on Wireless / Cell
2) Have true, might be more applicable in certain areas, but not ubiquitous... The desire to cripple the copper infrastructure has to do with a) requirement to allow competitive access to copper wires. b) WISP's are more like a mosquito to them, they Cable Co's have been eating their lunch, while being totally non-regulated (line share aspect). 3) Yes, agree, especially when it comes with 'we don't have to provide wholesale access on a regulated rate of return'. But for some of them, it is not meaty enough :) :) Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet & Telecom 7266 SW 48 Street Miami, FL 33155 Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: [email protected] > From: "Chuck McCown" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Monday, December 19, 2016 1:11:14 PM > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] T-Tommy Wheeler staying corrupt to the very end > The ILECs are focusing on fiber for several reasons: > 1) Dramatic loss of land line only customers due to cell phones. > 2) Loss of DSL customers to WISP due to long and poor copper. > 3) It is a good way to put more rate of return investment dollars in the > ground. > From: Faisal Imtiaz > Sent: Monday, December 19, 2016 10:34 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] T-Tommy Wheeler staying corrupt to the very end > Yes, that is also true.... so here is the chicken or the egg question... > Did the ILEC's focus on fiber (specifically Ethernet) when they were told by > the > FCC that they have to share, provide access to the TDM services (copper & > fiber) on an regulated basis to other competitors, and there were not going to > be able to dismantle that at any cost? or because there was a shift in > technology ? > Why 'Ethernet', specifically because during the 'deregulation' "forbearance" > proceedings, the Telco's were able to do a technical contortion to define > 'Fiber' & 'Ethernet' as not being subject to Regulation (having to provide > them > to their competitors on a regulated wholesale basis, but only via unregulated > commercial agreements) > :) > Faisal Imtiaz > Snappy Internet & Telecom > 7266 SW 48 Street > Miami, FL 33155 > Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 > Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: [email protected] >> From: "Chuck McCown" <[email protected]> >> To: [email protected] >> Sent: Monday, December 19, 2016 11:02:21 AM >> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] T-Tommy Wheeler staying corrupt to the very end >> All the ILECs I know are focused on FTTH, not wireless. >> From: "Faisal Imtiaz" <[email protected]> >> To: [email protected] >> Sent: Monday, December 19, 2016 9:40:27 AM >> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] T-Tommy Wheeler staying corrupt to the very end >> While I realize that someone of you have an incredibly deep rooted 'hatred' >> for >> folks from the other party, I would strongly suggest you go back 12/18 years >> and see how the FCC has acted under different administrations. >> While you may not care too much for this, but the CLEC's business / Wireline >> business were decimated under then Republican FCC ...(WISP's were spared and >> actually picked up business from that carnage).
