*NODS* I see fiber to business and industrial districts as well as fiber to towers. I see towers serving neighborhoods, not towns. Get those 60* sectors up in 5 gig and push some fiber to them!

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.

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.


Thanks,

I think that, alone, about disbunks this article.
