It has a very low take rate. EXTREMELY low take rate for the investment.

Is it more profitable to invest in the cloud/home extender/LTE or FIOS?

If the Land Line folks aren't selling FIOS - then . . . The focus has to go to Wireless . . . yet again. Consumers simply don't want the FIOS product. And look at this - Wireless folks don't even get a discount on it. My triple play is with Cablevision - even though FIOS is available in my town/area - because it's a better deal in terms of my monthly budget.


Step back and put all the nuts and bolts together - why do you think Lowell is pushing back on the Union? Just to be a dick?

Or does he have wireless organization that is maxed out in terms of our work load - and he's probably more afraid of us simply not coming to work one day because we get hit with yet ANOTHER raise in our personal cost for health insurance - than he is the less profitable side of the house.

Tough - very tough . . . This is why if you research my posts I'm really pro the Union and state - the best way to help them is to go buy FIOS. Plain old telephone service doesn't really make money anymore - FIOS is its back fill. But - again - consumers - seem to want to stick with Time Warner, Cablevision, Comcast, etc. etc.

Just because you build/make something doesn't mean people have to or WANT to buy it.
