      Because in order to serve a specific territory, they would have to ensure they could provide 100% of customers with the fiber-optics... Not only is it expensive to run, its a gamble in smaller areas if they don't get enough subscriptions

      Small markets, heck I'm here in Silicon Valley and can't get FiOS or anything else (non-Comcast) -- so we're sitting here in so-called Tech Wonderland being raped on fees by Comcrap. And even more ironic, my town is an old GTE stronghold. (For younger readers: GTE beget Verizon)
      Wish Verizon would spend more money laying fiber and less on saturation advertising (not to mention frequent "we miss you" mailings to re-sign Verizon landline). But seeing as how the US telco oligopoly has carved up the market into non-competitive chunks, I am not holding my breathe.

      If I were in Silicon Valley I'd be more apt to blame the lack of fiber deployments on regulations related to seismic concerns, greenbelt restrictions, and the NIMBY attitudes toward distribution cabinets.

      #3, be careful what you wish for. I use Comcast for cable and Verizon for DSL. IMO they both suck. Verizon even screwed up the wiring in my house.
