re: AT&T Prepping for GPON New fiber in greenfield housing developments. In this economy, how many is that? They just might build fiber to both of them.

re: AT&T Prepping for GPON Clearly any greenfield housing developments would deploy or at least plan for FTTH. You'd have to pretty dim not to.

re: AT&T Prepping for GPON I think Materialgirls point was that with housing inventories at record highs it is foolish to expect any new greenfield developments for some time.

re: AT&T Prepping for GPON "Two" might be optimistic. Haven't you heard? We're in a recession. Ask the Bear Sterns (former) employees.

re: AT&T Prepping for GPON That WAS my point. ATT can make that empty promise because they know they can sound good, and not deliver anything. WHAT greenfields?

re: AT&T Prepping for GPON Materialgirl - we're violently in agreement. There are home builders filing for bankruptcy, or having their land foreclosed upon by local municipalities or counties. I wasn't laughing at you, I was trying to laugh with you. :)

re: AT&T Prepping for GPON Sad, isn't it, when we can only joke about how screwed up the economy is.

re: AT&T Prepping for GPON Well, no, there's always the Gov. of New York sex scandal to joke about. Oh wait, that's sad too...

Well, ok, how 'bout his replacement, and the affairs both he and his wife had several years back... Nope, that's sad too...

re: AT&T Prepping for GPON It is funny, but I suspect this is actually a big deal. Even in a recession I suspect the new builds will be substantial. For instance it looks like for all NA in Q407 there were about ~275,000. ThatGÇÖs with a slow down for the Q4 compared to rest of 2007. Even if you say AT&T is 1/2 NA and this number slows down even more. 400,000 annual is a good clip for a company who didnGÇÖt seem serious about FTTH not too long ago...
This seems to be a very substantial number compared to FTTH deployments in NA to date as well.
