FiOS is transforming the speed and flexibility of the Internet
"Some people look at broadband and see an uncertain future. We look at broadband and see unlimited possibilities," "The power of broadband to innovate, integrate and equalize in the marketplace will not come from imposing limitations, but in lifting them."
"We have a window of opportunity to step into a new world of broadband and consumer choice, or we can step back into the old world of limited innovation and limited opportunity for consumers," "The stakes are high. The time to act is now."
"FiOS is transforming the speed and flexibility of the Internet"
All of those quotes are from Verizon VP Tom Tauke in a press release put out by Verizon today.
I agree with his statements. He just happens to be speaking to Congress about Net Neutrality legislation; whereas I think his comments make more sense when applied to his company’s future plans for the internet.
I agree FiOS is transforming the speed and flexibility of the Internet. I fully believe that the only foreseeable competitor for FiOS will come in the form of muni-WiFi networks and we have seen how Verizon feels about muni-WiFis. That is why I want Verizon to promise not to oppose muni-WiFis.
I agree that “The stakes are high and the time to act is now”. That is why I think Net Neutrality should be address as part of any cable TV franchise application.
I agree that "The power of broadband to innovate, integrate and equalize in the marketplace will not come from imposing limitations, but in lifting them." That is why Verizon should pledge to keep the internet a level playing field.
