Re: Amen Mueller! Great so why replace that 100 year old copper with new fiber that will last for 100 years when you can just stagnate with copper for another 50 years.
Typical American attitude....no vision or imagination. |

But I can't. We are really dieing quickly. Our country is screwed, we have no vision of the future , we really don't develop any more , all we do is tweak the old ideas we had. Look at todays music and culture as an example.
The new culture remixes old songs , revamps old movies , reloads old tv shows, reworks old car styles things that are original are sent to the way side (Yeah shows like Jericho and others are cancelled , but were original). It's a sign of a dieing culture , same happened to roman culture when it was dieing. I am really worried that in 30 years we will be turned into a chinese style nation. We will producing products for other markets at low enough wages to destroy ourselves.
Big thinkers are no longer american , with some of the laws passed in the past 15 years we really killed off the big thinker. This is why japan , korea and now china are making strides in the scientific world. Even russian scientists are becoming more imaginative when it comes to thinking about what can be in the future.

Yea...because no one in America ever innovated or invented anything. Maybe if we had tried harder to build our telephony network we'd have gotten a lower number for a calling prefix
Copper has a good 10 years or so left in it before economies of scale make it extremely viable to gut and replace. |

New York, NY | said by bogey780:Yea...because no one in America ever innovated or invented anything. Nope! America is one backwards country. In fact, we rely on Canada and Mexico to invent all our goods and services. Talk about innovation, just head north or south! (I am being sarcastic in case anyone cant tell)
said by bogey780:Copper has a good 10 years or so left in it before economies of scale make it extremely viable to gut and replace. At least 10 years in major cities, probably 20 before rural areas will even be thinking about replacing copper. There is no reason to replace something that more than does the job, especially with technology coming out that allows you to get more out of it. Dont get me wrong, I would love fiber myself; however its just not necessary at this point in time (for home users).

Another sign of a "dieing" culture is illiteracy. |

Typical American attitude....no vision or imagination. And the smartest thing to do. Sit on your existing technology as long as you can. Keep as many weapons (things to upgrade to) hidden as you can, its insurance if someone tries to compete with you, or your investors make you compete. Im still waiting for my photon/quantum processor, optical fiber straight into the chip, with optical transistors. 1 THZ cpu here I come. Im sure the NSA has some for their data mining. |
