I believe Verizon and AT&T compete in Dallas, which is the heart of u-verse
(their main NOC is there).  I believe that wherever FTTP will compete
directly with FTTN, FTTP will win if they can price competitively.  FTTP
bandwidth is for all practical purposes unlimited, while FTTN will always be
limited by what the last mile copper can carry.
