Re: FTTH Obstacle to Rollouts

"I am a big proponent of FTTH, so I would be looking at what has the best chance of unseating FTTH...fixed broadband."

Jorj- Just speaking in general terms, nothing will unseat FTTH. The only problem is--It's not here yet.

We had a series of discussions that reflect my opinion of why it will be a very long time before FTTH knocks off entrenched interests of HFC and a DSL network on the NFCTF thread. IMO, the entrenced interests will be the ones to rollout FTTH in very small increments, over many many years. If you read these posts it'll give you an overview of what FTTH builders WINfirst and Clearworks(CLWK) are up against:

Broadband fixed wireless(BBFW) is really a business service and not competition for consumer DSL and CM business. But it is competition for leased line and business DSL services. You can see how it's going by following the plans of AARW, TGNT, FON, XOXO, WCII, WCOM, ARTT as these are all BBFW SPs. -MikeM(From Florida)
