Copper is not dead because the telcos have universal service obligations.

Of course these are way outdated so it essentially allows them to cherrypick and make sure only the very profitable areas get FiOS.

Very profitable areas are anywhere most customers are within six miles line distance from a Verizon central office. Areas where a significant number of customers are beyond six miles but most are still less than twelve miles Verizon will probably find profitable enough for FiOS eventually. Anyplace more rural than that Verizon will probably try to sell off.

Left on DSL??

said by Karl Bode See Profile :

When it's all said and done, what percentage of Verizon customers won't see fiber to the home, including markets sold and markets left on DSL? 10%? 20%? 40%?
That implies that those who are not in Verizon's target area for FIOS currently have DSL available. Such is not the case; many, if not most, have no broadband.

We'd be thrilled to be "left" with DSL.
