Verizon is struggling when it comes to losing DSL customers, for a number of reasons we discussed earlier this week. But Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg seems confident that they’ll be seeing lost landline and DSL customers again at a later date. “We re now at the point where there s enough critical mass in our broadband strategy that we re able to offset access line losses,” he told investors this week. “Once we go into an area with FiOS, we win back the household,” he insists. Of course Verizon may not pursue FiOS in many rural areas, where deployment is less profitable. Only next year, after Verizon hits their 18 million homes passed mark, will the telco decide what to do next with FiOS.
