All,
Verizon is rolling out Fiber to the Premise in 9 states including
Florida. The Tampa area includes quite a few central offices. The
installation will have capability of 4 telephone lines, Ethernet and a
video feed. Verizon is planning some kind of video offering in 2005.
Unfortunately, it won't be available in my area!

I thought I'd share this with you as it opens up interesting
possibilities for
hosting use.
Verizon has announced Fiber To The Premise. Target is 1 million
installed
before end of the year.
At 15Mb it' s priced at $50 per month, if you don't take their bundled
phone
package. (Which brings it down to $45.)
The lucky winners to get it installed this year is Tampa, Florida,
Dallas-Fort
Worth areas in Texas and Huntington Beach, California. Others have to
wait...
The service will peak out at 30Mb.
I can see running a few of those into my house. Get a diesel generator
and put
up a bank of servers...
According to Verizon they don't mean the Tampa area, only Tampa. Bummer
as I
live in Clearwater.
