Thus saith an iProvo Exec. on 01 May 2006: """ Neither RapidWave nor XMission has been denied service provider status on our network. XMission met with us and told us they were wanting to move slowly and perhaps come on the network in 6+ months. Rapidwave has a pending application. Bringing on additional service providers provides additional options for customers but also increases complexity. We are trying to make sure all the bugs are out before we bite off more by adding service providers. I do not think rapidwave is doing any video and does not have licenses for video from content providers (ESPN, HBO, etc.) We are soon to more to allow service providers without video so video might not be a prime factor. """ """ Yes. But perhaps "soon" was the wrong term as I don't know the time frame. Let me re-phrase by saying I would not be surprised to see the next service providers to join the network not provide a triple play. This was always the plan. Get a few anchor service providers that do triple play and then slowly and carefully open the network to more providers that may or may not offer triple play. Not all providers will offer triple play in the end is my best guess.
As the Mayor and City Council do the final approval, I of course have no final say on service providers, but I know we are likely to recommend service providers that do not offer triple play. I think they will approve of that plan and those providers. """ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
