| Doesn't mean copper will go away It just means that the copper they do have will need new equipment on the ends and in the middle. The middle really is already moving from circuit switched to IP. Now all they will push for is to replace old circuit switched phone equipment in the local offices and remaining homes with IP based equipment. |

However, the charges related to it seem to be kept on a long-term life support: Verzon's POTS over FIOS as a shining example--so, to make up for this potential of lost revenue.. their plan B is to raise the price of CABLE-TV & INTERNET ACCESS to make up for the small fees that can be collected in the face of FREE GOOGLE VOIP to a minimum of $100 collected per subscriber (at least one year before end of Obama's first term). |

Agreed, Verizon states that they are running FIOS direct to the house, but that isn't true in the majority of cases. They run fiber to the underground and the last part of the run is definitely on twisted pair copper cable.
They won't be investing in fiber to the door unless they absolutely have to. They want to eliminate the majority of the copper so that they don't have to maintain it. New York is a prime example of how bad their copper plant is.
