Maybe by "select areas" they mean areas where deploying fiber isn't economically feasible. In that copper is already strung, and barely being used, so why bother upgrading it to fiber, when they only have 3 customers using it anyway. ( Like in many areas in the "deep" south ) |

Then just string the fiber along like the copper and pull down the copper for scrap. fiber has to be rolled out. It will cost less for them to wire the rural areas since they don't have to splice at every other pole like in the city.
Most of the cost is labor that is the sad part.

Miami, FL | Fiber is already layed out down here in South FL in the "deep south". The post I made above I meant the homes on my street or infact my whole area with fiber. |
