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 use MSA to mean any of the 30 or so metro areas in the US.
With $15 DSL and FiOS and cable triple play, competing in the Metro is
really getting tough in the Resi space.
The one bill. The give-aways. The constant advertising.
If you do MDU/MTU, you have a good shot at it, but individual
residential units in Metro areas is a tough market.
Unless you can come up with enough of a value add (and I have some ideas
on this, read my newsletter) to stand out above the Tele-Baron crowd.
I woulod go on, but I have to pack for a trip.
Once the client gets FiOS, all copper is clipped - and they cannot
ever use a CLEC again.
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
VZ is clipping the copper and moving the VZ phone service to the fiber.
The customer gets no choice.
Anything beyond a DLC or Fiber node is pretty much lost to the CLEC.
Any copper facilities that get replaced by fiber are lost as well.
FTTx does not have to be shared - and that is exactly what FiOS is.
