John Koppin Quotations

I think what the folks up there in Sprint territory are experiencing is this euphoria, this anticipation that these changes are going to take place. They are (going to happen), but they aren't there yet. This is a trend and we are on the front end of the curve.

We're disappointed that the absence of a statewide video franchising system in the bill will hinder the implementation of broadband services and put Indiana at a competitive disadvantage.

Customers simply look around, if we raise a rate, we are basically chasing our customer to the cable company, we are chasing our customer to take out their wire line phone and go totally wireless. So it doesn't make a lot of sense from a marketing standpoint for us to do that.

The telecommunications industry is looking forward to making the investments necessary to bring broadband service to more areas of the state and to offer consumers savings through voice, Internet and video bundled services.
