What I don't get is on, on one hand, you have the CEO (was it Verizon?) saying "Americans don't want gigabit internet" and continuing to build out these 20-40mbps networks, yet trying to serve TV/video through IP as well. I'm trying to understand the long game here but I'm struggling. The only thing I can think of is that they're trying to get us thinking that 20-40mbps is "worth" $40/month therefore when we finally get 1gbps, they can charge $150/mth (or something to that effect).
