It's not a technical failure but just a reality of the economy and increased competition from cable with DOCSIS 3. To the same point cable has backed away from FTTx deployments. (not that they were ever that committed in the first place but most had serious plans on the drawing boards for the near future)

Thanks very much. That's disheartening, but I suppose it makes sense if they thought they could just be selectively one-upped by the cable companies in every area they entered. That the cable companies are basically holding areas hostage that way is a pretty good argument for public internet infrastructure, though.

  The telcos have been charging for over 20 years to upgrade their system. Its a scandal. http://www.newnetworks.com/roadmap.html http://www.newnetworks.com/roadmap.html
