AT&T to go ALL wireless

Senior engineers I have spoken with at AT&T suggest they will completely abandon all copper lines in their franchise areas and deliver voice/data/video over wireless within 10 years. Too costly & labor intensive to maintain the "sticks".

.... and I'll bet AT&T will get the USF to pay for all the wireless equipment deployed, and then when it's done they'll save the millions/hundreds of millions when they abandon all the old wire... not to mention laying off all the line techs and the like.... and you know damn well they won't pass the savings back to the subscribers.
