I talked with one of the Verizon guys who does fiber in this neighborhood. He was at Crosby Drive doing some things for some T-1 circuits in the commercial properties, and I mentioned it, and he said where he was not all that busy before, he is now full bore on the FIOS/FTTP whenever he isn't doing the commercial stuff. They won't sell FIOS to commercial, you'll have to buy traditional connections at traditional prices until they get some competition. MEG MEG
