wow is correct.. hopefully they mass produce the product(s) to bring costs down even more.

This gives telcos less and less reason to stick with copper.
I agree, but I want to point out that in my personal experience, most "copper" services are actually delivered via fiber anyway. For example, the DS1's we sell are fiber to the prem, then typically less than 100 ft of copper at the demarc point. The same thing applies to our DS3's and so on. About the only time that I encounter a circuit with more copper on it than that is when we are providing a P2P DS1 to someone outside our footprint; we'll go fiber to a multiplexed handoff point, and then the other LEC (usually AT&T) picks it up from there and delivers it the rest of the way as a copper circuit. For the record, I *hate* troubleshooting those circuits...

Then they will have the gov't partially or fully subsidize that deployment. The telco circle of life!!
