Why is Verizon keeping this arbitrary asymmetric limit with Fiber?

Is there any possibility of Verizon licensing the TiVo software, as Comcast and Cox have done, for FiOS? 2. FiOS currently supports CableCARD systems, such as the TiVo Series3. Should this continue indefinitely? Will Verizon continue to add channels to the standard digital tier that CC devices can access, or will they begin using Switched Digital Video for channels, locking out CC 1.0 devices? 3. When will I be able to get FiOS in my home? ;-) 1. Is there any possibility of Verizon licensing the TiVo software, as Comcast and Cox have done, for FiOS?

That being said, is there theoretical limit to the amount of HD channels that FiOS can deliver? Will FiOS TV and Internet customers ever need to worry about their TV traffic stealing from their data bandwidth?
