If Verizon Stops Deploying FiOS, Then What?

As Verizon nears the end of its initial $23 billion rollout of FiOS, apparently the company going to focus more on marketing what it has already built rather than expanding its fiber footprint further. This raises some questions: 1) What does this mean to the deployment of full fiber connections around the country? 2) If some policymakers have pointed to Verizon's fiber investments as proof the broadband market's working, how can they say we're headed in the right direction if no one fills the void left by Verizon? 3) If we rely solely on the market for broadband deployment, aren't we going to end up a nation of haves and have nots?
