USA 10 recommendations ham3843 Member Guess what? If AT&T had ALREADY built out its FTTH product to their entire footprint do you really think they would spend a small fortune with lawyers to stop Google Fiber? LOL delltechkid

Hermitage, TN 10 recommendations delltechkid Member Of course.. I hope this ruling sticks on appeal. They've filed a similar suit here in Nashville. Of course, while they have Google tied up in court they're busy trying to lay and string as much fiber as possible, actually touching poles where Google has requests in for them to move their stuff, and they're still not making any room on those poles for Google.

Bethel, CT 6 recommendations camper Premium Member A side benefit of Google Fiber



Sometimes I think that a side benefit of the deployment of Google Fiber is the exposure of the egregious practices that the incumbent, competition-fearing, ISPs have in place in order to assure that they face as little competition as possible.



The incumbents appear afraid to compete.



They seem to find it less expensive to prevent competition than to satisfy customers to the extent that they can compete.

Cheyenne, WY 4 recommendations Transmaster Member I had a Dream That Google Fiber was coming to Cheyenne, Wyoming that I would get a high fiber internet connection that "moved" real fast. That the threat of such a wonderful thing would cause Centurylink to start laying fiber faster, that might cause the local Comcast stooge to improve customer service, but all I hear is the sound of laugher.

@2600:1005.x 3 recommendations Anondf7f9 Anon New at&t Yes, this isn't the old at&t. The old at&t was mainly a communication company. They started out as technically proficient and knowledgeable. Now, they're the new at&t looking to be a media holding company. They also seem to be good at getting rid of customers.



So the short of it seems to be, the new at&t no longer proficient, no longer a real communication company, and may or may not be a fake news Network. Does that sound correct?

Mount Juliet, TN 2 recommendations davidc502 Member Folks....... at&t already got what it wanted This has been in litigation for some time, and at&t already got the delays it wanted to catch up. Winning the suit wasn't necessary, as all the delays to get to this point was all it needed. Now, had they won, it would have been icing on the cake. BiggA

Central CT 2 recommendations BiggA Premium Member Verizon Will be doing a lot of their own fiber for 5G and maybe targeted/redlined FiOS deployments outside of their ILEC territory.
