Re: [WISPA] verizon fios - Advertising Battle

That's the kind of Guerrilla Advertising YOU should be doing.
Pizza boxes, etc.

You might have to go with the old stand-by:
Do you really want Internet from Your Phone Company?
These people can't even get your bill straight.

On Triple-Play: I think that this is a ME-TOO strategy.
If you are chasing after Resi accounts, you might want to look at what 
the pricing is separately for them to buy the TV piece from cable and 
the rest from you.

But Resi doesn't have much future in MSAs.

Remember FiOS voice service has an 8 hour battery backup just like VOIP, 
so their E-911 won't work after a work day.
Once the client gets FiOS, all copper is clipped - and they cannot ever 
use a CLEC again.

Ah but what about the new customer  who is comparing FIOS to what I offer? FIOS
will have tv and voip ( we do voip now but no tv )

Times are a changing and verizon is putting flyers on everything around boston,
ma to promote FIOS, like pizza box's, dry cleaning slips etc

  But Resi doesn't have much future in MSAs.

Can you explain this statement for me? Excuse my lack of knowledge here. 
What are you referring to as a MSA? Also let us hear a little more 
detail about this statement please.

I thought if the service drop was used to deliver phone service that the 
telco had to allow UNE access to the line. This has changed? I knew it 
had gone away in terms of access to  advanced broadband facilities like 
DSLAMs and such but I thought the RBOCs still had to give up access to 
subscriber lines regardless of the media? Please elaborate.

Thank you,
Scriv
