I actually disagree that wireline services are not profitable, they are profitable, generate a very stable rate of return - but they are not generating the rate of return, and more importantly growth rates the market expects. Because of this, Verizon is trying to starve them to make its balance sheet look better - which in the short term works, but it will also hasten the demise of what is a somewhat lucrative revenue stream.<p>FTTN Makes the most sense in dense and semi dense urban and suburban areas - FTTH&#x2F;P makes more sense in very rural places, I&#x27;m seeing movement on FTTP by CenturyLink, Frontier seems very interested in expanding its existing FTTH footprint, but is not doing so yet.
