Verizon has been promising this for quite a while now. From what I've heard, the third and highest tier of FiOS can only get up to 50mbps (if you're lucky). <a href="http://www.newnetworks.com/tellthetruthverizon.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.newnetworks.com/tellthetruthverizon.htm</a><p>"We estimate that nationwide, through tax cuts and overcharging, customers have paid an estimated $70 billion dollars for non-existent broadband services. In Pennsylvania alone, we estimate that Verizon already collected $785 per household for services customers never received."

As long as the US leads in suburbia, we will follow in last mile bandwidth.

Wonder if this will disincent private sector innovation and investment.

10 years is a long time to implement this with only 100Mbps. By 2020 many other countries will be on gigabit connections. I think they're aiming too low here.
