We may not see Fios for awhile. Verizon is experiencing significant difficulties in negotiating cable agreements with different cities. So far Verizon has only signed 2 agreements for Fios cable service rights (note:The story was in the WSJ on Thursday or Friday I belive. The story is not on their website or on the web yet). The main reason for the delay is that the cities are demanding multi-million dollar kickbacks to allow Verizon offer the cable service.
Cost is another big reason. A FTTH (fiber to the home). costs Verizon $800 for each home and SBC $300. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Oliver" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Verizon FIOS - When for San Diego?
