Yes, but under this plan my guess is that there will come a point where the copper plan will dillapidate and 'whither on the vine' so to speak... while fiber gets all the attention.. albiet not today-- but in the next 2 decades- it simply is not wise to run copper for such long distances where data is neccessary unless they get reasonable costs under control to deal with bw attenuation.. with dsl, its simply not practical to put remote terminals at EVERY point that the signal degrades too much.. fiber runs are the way to go.. now telcos just need to deliver, deploy and actually provide service, and cablecos will follow suit.. pity the thought that VZ would offer voip, 15mbit data and 150 channels for like $100/mo with a free installation, router and video box (terminal)  not to mention, fiber buildouts will be 622:122mbits bandwidth capable.. it's like having a dedicated 1:1 connection with 50-90% bw(more or less) under HFC direct to the cable plant (fiber hub) and not shared.. |
