ZO- My guess is TV over VDSL has a very slim chance of success. I'm guessing MOT is going to have another disaster on their hands. First Irridium, and next Next Level. With a cap of $600 million, it's not going to be an insignificant event for MOT if they have to write this one off too. TV over copper is a dumb idea. It's putting a round peg in a square hole (not technically, but economically). So do you have the REAL stats as to absolute paying customers we've been reading about for ten years or more? My guess is, as the article states, there is still no widescale deployment after ten years of hype. IMO, twisted pair incumbents should be teaming with DBS players(such as BLS had planned to do). -MikeM(From Florida)
