Ding, ding, ding!
Look at it this way: A telco has a whole bunch of copper plant that may not be completely amortized. FTTPremises would throw all of that away, and start from scratch - hello, capital expenditures and rate increases. Copper-only solutions (all the way from the CO to the premises) would suck for obvious reasons. So, why not strike a balance between those two extremes, while utilizing the current copper plant to the fullest?
Not that I'm saying that's the right thing to do. That's just the mindset that these companies have. |
