Re: What Exactly is the Question Here? The question--or rather the point of concern--is that with the copper goes all obligation to "share" the naked facility. Under current FCC guidelines, the fiber is much more subject to the whims of the ILEC than the copper was.
In particular, the ILEC can dictate the terms of use, prices for lease or resale of spectrum/services, and the protocols which can be used over the "naked facility".
If the ILEC chooses to require a protocol which disadvantages all voice providers except their own, tough luck, folks.
And if the ILEC chooses to require a protocol which disadvantages all video providers except their own, tough luck, again.
And if the ILEC chooses to require a protocol which disadvantages all gaming interaction except their own, tough luck thrice.
See where this is going?

| Verizon is playing it smart! The person can't go back to DSL, leaving Cable as an option. They might be forced to go with Verizon Fios as internet, since they will see its a cheaper better service.
by they i mean a new customer moving into a house FiOS ready.
