Sonic is dropping hang-tags that say that Sonic fiber is coming by February 2018 at homes in Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito. At least one of those home has AT&T fiber on the pole out front, part of the big and fast fiber deployment that AT&T has been doing in this area for the past year or so.
I'd love to believe that Sonic is going to run its own fiber even in places where AT&T has run fiber. Is that what Sonic is promising to do by February? Or is the product that you're advertising going to be a resold AT&T fiber service? Or a Sonic service provided over fiber strands leased in their entirety from AT&T? If using AT&T fiber in some manner, will there be data caps? Will usage be subject to Sonic's privacy policy, or AT&T's "privacy" policy? AT&T's ONT and wifi router, or Sonic's?
Dane, AT&T knows the answer to all of these questions (at least with respect to any service that Sonic is launching in February 2018). Either Sonic is coordinating with AT&T on pole access for your own fiber, or you're negotiating with them on use their fiber. The only people who don't know are your current and prospective customers, the ones that you hope will purchase this service. So what is the service that you'll be selling?
