Hey folks,
I just retired from Verizon. Hams don't mess with the Verizon FIOS 
system. I believe UVerse is fiber based out to a point then goes to the 
customer prem from a hub via copper cable or maybe coax. There is no 
place for the rf to get into the fiber. It may get into the end 
electronics. So far I have never heard of any problem with the FIOS at 
Verizon and RF interference. ATT just did not want to spend the money to 
bring fiber directly to the customer's home. So now they go to the FCC 
to cry poor??  Maybe they ought to clean up their own house before 
complaining. You can almost bet the FCC is going to listen to the "Big 
ATT" company before they pay any attention to us. This ATT is not the 
old ATT of the past. Its still the old Pacific Bell footprint here in 
California but they grabbed the name when the original went out like a 
unicorn.

All we need is a bunch of off the street no nothing installation "techs" 
telling their customers that they are not the problem, its the big bad 
"Hams" in their neighborhood. Hang on for the ride.
