Big competition coming to NFLX. It’s comical at this stage.

Verizon can’t get out of its own way, never mind compete with anyone.
_________
As long as AT&T is around, Verizon can’t have the worst customer service in the industry.
The more competitors, the more eventual carnage. We still have a max of 24 hrs in a day to spend staring at a screen.
Desperation will lead to the first big scandal, which will be pay-per-view movie services subtly speeding up the movie speed to give customers more time to view another feature.
After that will come the combination of bribes and threats to the movie studios, to decrease the average length of a film.
Finally, service providers will secretly fund a laboratory in Cuba to complete development of a drug once intended for use by the East German athletics program. The drug which will be provided to the unwitting target audience via the high-fructose corn syrup supply chain, will enable humans to view a film at twice normal speed while perceiving it in normal speed.
A number of unfortunate side effects will come to light, bringing down every media delivery giant except Blockbuster (which was running behind on its own technology effort – development of a drug that would make its customers perceive that the wait for a disc in the mail was faster than real time). Goldman Sachs will be discovered to have short positions in all of the doomed companies.
The plot would have been discovered sooner, but, when a whistle blower delivered evidence to a Congressional committee that the drug was making men go from arousal to ejaculation in 90 seconds or less, half the committee expressed the opinion that the time was in the normal range and the other half of the committee requested samples of the drug “for outside evaluation”.
loved it!
Anthony Burgess’s estate attorney just called, and wants to know if you’ll talk settlement?

It makes sense for high bandwith content to be delivered in a non-wireless manner to the consumer whenever possible.
If they are not already doing it, Verizon should make FIOS to micro cell site boxes available to customers at a low cost. There is no reason for my Verizon superphone to be talking to a cell tower three miles away when it could be talking to a very low power cell site module on the FIOS box in my house. This would enable Verizon to devote their cellphone wireless network to truly mobile customers.
