BNA market research company Pike & Fischer suggests that AT&T's buildout of fiber to the node and using existing copper lines to connect to homes will not be successful in the long-term. "AT&T is attempting to position its TV service as superior to cable, but there's nothing to prevent those competitors from matching the U-verse features over time," says report author Tim McElgunn, chief analyst for Pike & Fischer's Broadband Advisory Services. The firm concludes that AT&T will have to buildout fiber directly to customers' premises.
