you're right. fiber costs 1/10 of copper to maintain. someone's gotta pay!
Yes, but fiber costs 10x as much as copper to deploy!
Deploy costs are the only thing to consider. Ongoing maintenance and capacity also must be weighted. It's not an immediate return on the investment, but go out 10, 20, or 30 years and Verizon is betting that there will be.
