Re: What about Copper Theft when VZ FiOS Migration is complete ?

Will VZ sell the Copper POTS network to another provider?

No. To date, everywhere they've strung/buried fibre, they've removed the copper. This is only partially to recover costs -- scrap copper wire really isn't all that valuable. It's mostly about eliminating competition; they aren't required to share access to "next-gen" infrastructure like they are with copper.

[i.e. if you have FiOS installed in your house, the copper line(s) are removed.]
