Dirty Tricks in Verizon FIOS-TV Land?

Thanks to Carlo over on techdirt.com for pointing out this snippet.

Via Broadband Reports.

...an interesting police report from Woburn, Massachusetts that details just how heated the competition between Verizon and some cable operators may be:

"3 p.m., a Pierce Promotions employee working on behalf of Verizon reported someone stole literature he was leaving on doorsteps in the Fulton Street neighborhood. While leaving the pamphlets, the Verizon employee reported a man in a black car approached him and asked for one of the pamphlets. The Verizon employee noticed a stack of the pamphlets already in the man's back seat. He returned to Fulton Street and discovered all the pamphlets he had left were taken. When he approached a house, he was told that the man in the black car was an RCN [cable] employee."

Wow.. Figures.. Any company that poses a bandwidth solution for us hardcore file sharers, or for us hardcore gamers, gets taken out by the cable companies who utilize thier destructive tricks.. Fiber optics seriously increase our connection bandwidth to other people, web servers, games, and all applications that are network intensive. It wont be long before we are all just a bunch of huge LANS.
