I suck at card games and don't really trip on games of chance.<BR/><BR/>I used to own a company that supplied raw and backroom optical materials to the RBOCs and cable companies so I actually have a bit of experience in that field. My gut feeling is that subs (end users) don't need more than 100Mbps for the next decade so fiber is nice but not necessary and Verizon is going to have to spend a lot more money than their peers who aren't running fiber the last mile. I'd love to have it at home, think it's great for new construction but I think the expense is unnecessary right now and is a business disadvantage since HD/VOIP/Torrent over dsl/cable/wireless will do an equal job for the next decade until the next killer bandwidth app comes around.sanjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775172367511562715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210936.post-20743870287559268132007-02-15T10:42:00.000-05:002007-02-15T10:42:00.000-05:00You'd do well in Vegas.On another note, what do yo...You'd do well in Vegas.<BR/><BR/>On another note, what do you think about fiber-optic broadband? Verizon offers a FiOS service that is getting rave reviews.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
