Re: Unbundle this. said by KrK:said by batterup:FiOS is coming and copper must die. Tell that to someome who is 10 miles outside of town. Hell, tell that to people in major cities under AT&T's control. FIOS is coming. Yeah, probably right after the Sun explodes. I think what he meant is that "fiber is coming" and "copper must die". This, I believe is the truth; after all, when copper becomes more expensive than fiber, I very much doubt the telco's will continue to use copper. It'll probably start with the small, independent telco's (like the ones that only cover 1-2 towns/cities) first, since they're going to be more for saving a buck than the big-boys are...then it'll trickle down to the largest independent telco (Embarq)...from there, the major players will have to follow or be far behind the rest of the nation in providing adequate bandwidth. |
