Re: An advantage of FTTH is to end copper maintenance
said by bogey780  :What's the reason for CLEC's getting copper access? Because incumbents had a defacto monopoly when the copper was placed. So the argument is that as long as they run that copper they need to share. Fiber is totally new and divorced from copper plant. While I agree with you for the most part, you also have to remember that the ILECs became huge and powerful because of the government bailouts and subsidies. It gives them an unfair advantage as the goverment helped them run their business for years, essentially building up their pocket books so that they eventually could deploy their own network with their own money. The CLECs haven't had that advantage of the constant government help over the years.
