Qwest Still Wishy Washy on IPTV – Signing video franchise agreements they may never use…

In: Site Feeds|VoIP|broadbandreports.com

16 Nov 2007

Qwest recently unveiled that they’ll be spending $300 million over the next two years to bring 20Mbps VDSL to around 1.9 million customers. That’s a far cry from the $6.5 and $23 billion AT&T and Verizon (respectively) are spending on upgrades. Qwest isn’t sure it really wants to get into the video business, though they’re watching AT&T’s IPTV effort very closely.

Still, the company has been working to to sign video franchise agreements in a number of locations, including one this morning in Portland. As we noted when we obtained leaked internal VDSL launch material last August, Portland is one of the first launch markets for Qwest’s FTTN service. They’ll probably hold on to the franchises until they decide whether to further pursue IPTV.
