Verizon PA: Our Deployment Isn't Confidential
Tuesday, 28 July 2009 21:51
Verizon PA86% of Verizon's PA customers can get DSL or FiOS, the company reports at http://bit.ly/ZBP6Z. They are served by nearly 1,000 exchanges and many upgraded remote terminals. Complete list below. Verizon has also provided the information about their exchanges and DSL in Massachusetts at http://bit.ly/Tl7Lo .Complete list below. Larry Strickling says "this is a new era" and that he "expected that carriers will allow information about the areas in which they serve to be made publicly available, as they do in Canada."

I wish him luck. AT&T just a few weeks ago refused to even reveal the total coverage across their network. This is BS - any substantial competitor can easily test for information and almost always can buy it commercially. AT&T simply doesn't want to reveal how little they have done to extend broadband to the millions in their terriory who remain "unserved."

Ryan Womack at Broadband Census reports Strickling said, “We need the data: I think it is a national imperative in which this data be collected. ... Once that is made clear to them, at the most senior levels, then this thing will work itself out.” I'm sending this to an AT&T spokesman in D.C., cc'd to Larry at NTIA. It's time for AT&T to stop hiding. I'm also sending it to Walt McCormick at USTA, who recently wrote "The nation’s broadband providers have long supported the FCC broadband principles. We embrace transparency."

“We need the data: I think it is a national imperative in which this data be collected,” said Strickling, responding to a question about whether carriers will in fact provide states with the information necessary to create state-level broadband maps.

“I think it is a new era, and I think that carriers will eventually get the message and come along,” he said.

If carriers refuse to comply with the imperatives for providing broadband data, Strickling specifically said, “There are other ways to collect this: there are survey techniques, and other ways to collect this information short of the carrier.”

“We have appropriated $350 million” to this task, and “we are expecting the states to be creative, to be collaborative, to work together, and to find some new ways to collect the data, whether or not it is supplied by the carrier.”

Strickling concluded: “Once that is made clear to them, at the most senior levels, then this thing will work itself out.”

When asked specifically about why the NTIA chose to follow, in its data and mapping Notice of Funds Availability, an approach that favors granting confidentiality for carriers, Strickland replied: “We hope that carriers waive that” confidentially.

He said that cable providers may be the first to start offering this data under public pressure, which will “draw others out” and that “the public pressure will carry everybody else along.”

“We are somewhat hopeful that as we get the data, our sense is that [companies will become] quite comfortable with being publicly identified. We don’t really see this as being a huge problem longer term.”
