Verizon sues Time Warner Cable over some dumb ads {Engadget HD}

Apr 10th 2008 5:55PM Cable companies have been using Fiber since the 1990's, albeit in a configuration called Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_Fibre_Coaxial), where the Fiber only makes it to the street corner, and Coax then completes the last leg. Verizon only adds to this by bringing fiber to the premises. So although Time Warner are completely wrong on the Satellite dish thing, they're not completely offbase with the fiber claim.
