Telecom Meets Web 2.0 - Who Wins?

Simply put, VOIP is only as good as the network it travels over. Seidenburg understands this, which would be why they're in the process of installing the best network this country has ever seen. Hardwired or otherwise. I'm talking, of course, about Fios, their FTTP network. Expensive? Yes. King of the hill in
the long run? No doubt.

Disclosure: author is long VZ via their 401k company match.

Memo To Cablecos: Fixed Line Is Dead

It's all gonna come back to bandwidth. VZ will eventually be the clear winner
with their FTTP infrastructure. The CATV pipes are packed as it is. Adding VOIP
to the pipe is only gonna congest it even more.

JMHO,
