And you guys belueve that? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA....
First... Any chemical that would "dissolve" the dielectric (the white part) of the COAX would be highly toxic or corrosive and would need to be recaptured during the process which is very costly.
Second... Fiber to the home? If a home already had an aerial COAX going to it, a fiber optic cable can be attached and pulled to the home replacing the old COAX. If the COAX is underground then it's most likely in a conduit. Again the fiber optic cable would again be connected to the COAX and pulled thru. I did cable for years and NEVER had to "dig". The COAXes were either aerial or in a conduit from the pedistal to the side of the house.
The precentage of homes without exisitng cabling would be very very low and those would be done on an as needed basis.
I absolutely do not believe this is a real process but then... this is just my opinion.

Guess you only worked in areas with plant from the 90's and up. Here, pretty much anything from the late 90's and older were all direct buried drops. All over this state.
