from your source: >Verizon had a total of 4.8 million FiOS Internet and 4.2 million FiOS Video connections at year-end. Its nearly a 50-50 split, not primarily internet as you suggest. heres comcasts: >As of December 31, 2011, our cable systems served 22.3 million video customers, 18.1 million high-speed Internet customers and 9.3 million voice customers and passed more than 52 million homes and businesses in 39 states and the District of Columbia. and further: >43% of the homes in the areas we serve subscribed to our video services ... 35% of the homes in the areas we serve subscribed to our high-speed Internet services 4.2:4.8::22.3:18.1 That doesnt seem, to me, to be an outrageous comparison. Also as far as lucrative: >Programming expenses, our largest operating expense, are the fees we pay to license the programming we distribute to our video customers. Programming for cable, and not infrastructure or buildouts is their largest expense. I hope i dont come across as combative here, to be honest talking with you on HN has taught me a lot about this very complex issue, and given me a lot to think about - i appreciate your civility
