What about FiOS?

Verizon FiOS was the first major deployment of Fiber To The Premises (FTTP) in the United States.  The FTTP network architecture terminates optical fiber (replacing cable) at or outside the customer’s home (not just to the node).  While it expanded quickly initially, the subscriber count for FiOS internet and TV seems stalled at about 6M each.

How will Verizon FiOS respond to Comcast’s gigabit service (via DOCSIS 3.1) launch in markets where the two firms compete?  Will they give up the wireline market because of costs, regulations, and declining demand?  For now, that appears to be the writing on the wall.
