It will be interesting to see how much they actually accomplish. I recall when Ed Whitacre announced "Project Pronto", and promised to deploy DSL in many communities. Then he cancelled the project when it was halfway done. "Project Lightspeed" may turn out to be a big flop because it is a half-assed network that won't scale up well.
Verizon is doing a much better job than AT&T. They're actually deploying fiber to the premises.
Why do you say it doesn’t scale well? It’s building the underlying structure necessary to go to an all fiber network eventually without paying a premium?
Verizon is having to pay so much for FiOS that even with the good uptake they’re still having to roll the service out extremely slow. They’ve been rolling it out for 3.5 years now and they’re probbaly not going to finish it for quite a while longer. I guarantee you that if Verizon serviced you, you’d definitely not see it. As is they’re trying to sell off 3 rural states to accomplish it.
