All that copper will be sold off to some secondary provider, and Verizon will be happy to be rid of it.
Don't forget the fact that they are spending time and money to remove it from the homes as they install fiber (possibly to avoid "some secondary provider")

They are noit removing the copper outside plant, only removing the copper drop and only buy cutting it at the nid. The copper drop can be easily reinstalled if needed.
