Thread regarding CenturyLink layoffs

5G

5G is driving these business changes, residential services as you know it will change for the better with no inside wiring and eventually won't be monopolized by any one carrier. (Good for consumers, bad for Cable monkeys, like me)

Residential media access will be ran much like business is where it could go as far as a 3rd party service provider who will provide media content if they're collocated to the local POP, i.e. if Charter communications wants to provide IP based services to customers in the Phoenix market they'll have to collocate in Phoenix.

Cox has a couple (if not, just one that I know of for sure) of Neighborhoods in Las Vegas that have a semi complete setup like this where the entire subdivision is lit wirelessly and all services are an IP based subscription. If you don't have a Smart TV, a set top box is sent to the customer and is plug and play, but it's all COX at the moment.

Prism had/has something similar to this to speed up access for those savvy enough to get it working, the instructions were pretty straight forward. So it's not completely unconceivable to see Prism to come back from dead in some form.

CenturyLink is bringing fiber to the curb with POPs in every conceivable area with laterals along their fiber routes.

Providing access to carriers who provide media content is where the money is and Jeff Story and Co. See that in CTLs future.

Don't blame Jeff, he's just doing his job who's beholden to the shareholders.

Calling him greedy isn't fair.

If anything needs to change is the lust for making money at any and all costs which is driven by shareholders.

The greed is shareholders wanting 11 percent return per quarter instead of annual returns of reasonable amounts. Short term investing has killed what used to be a great system in America.
