And this is why I planning a fiber roll out in my town.
I can see the spectrum - bandwidth limitations of a pure wireless play
and would like to be able to "run with the big dogs" When they start
cranking up their stuff.

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Copper Plant
Isn't the reason they are replacing some of their copper with fiber is
because they then do not have to allow competition to ride their wires?
Old wires old rules, new fiber new rules?

The AT&T (originally SBC) VDSL plan requires copper to the home.
Fiber to the neighborhood.
In VZ region, they are pulling out copper as fast as they can &
replacing it with fiber. (FiOS is FTTH not FTTN).
VZ even clips the copper when they install your FiOS.
And what VZ isn't replacing, thieves are stealing, since copper is
easy to sell.
VZ's union is even claiming that VZ is not maintaining the copper
plant in some areas.
If you watch the FCC network notifications, there is more copper
replacement being done this year then ever before.

No, not really, as AT&T is betting on copper only in the last few
hundred
feet to the premises. While they're not going to do
fiber-to-the-premises,
they will be doing a fiber infrastructure.
