you mean the part where it says it "will" bring fiber-optic to "within 300 meters (1000 feet) of every subscriber unit"? That blatantly tells me this book was written BEFORE 1994 and that it confirms that fiber-optic was not running to the home.
I seem to remember around the time I moved into my current house in Lindenhurst (1995), that a big deal was made because they had just run fiber down Wellwood Ave.
But no matter.
I too want to see Cablevision offer cell phone service. Now, where's the popcorn?

Hey hey hey.
They offer phone service. It's much better than the phone company's offering.
(yes, I know... )
CV would rather spend money on B-movie quality commercials.

To be perfectly fair (something not always seen in this thread), I've heard wonderful things about the Optimum Voice service. However, in my own person experience which cannot be refuted since it;s a personal experience, in my 40 plus years of living on the Island, I've lost electricity less than 10 times and phone service so few times I cannot remember ever having lost it. When I had cable, I was good for outages on a fairly frequent basis. So, when it came to my phone service, I stuck with the system that had not let me down.

I don't even use home phone. I didn't opt for it with FIOS.
I do like how FIOS DOES allow you to get a "double play" with just TV and Internet. Many people do not use home phones in this day and age. CV only allows a "double play" with phone and tv, or phone and Internet.

I will probably keep a landline for as long as feasible. In case of emergency and all that.

But wait...what's this your page says, not even a sentence later?
"with individual nodes running coaxial cable to 750 homes each."
So, yes...Cablevision had fiberoptics running to their nodes. And then it was good old coaxial that took that signal, split it into 750 and ran 1/750th of it into your home.
Thank you for proving my points on both FIOS and on your penchant for half-truthes and disinformation.
Admit it, you were realllllly hoping I wouldn't read the whole thing, weren't you?
No, I mean the part where it says "cablevision first ventured into fiber optics in 1989."
thus, the 80s was born.
