A big advantage to Verizon is that they can rip out the copper, and replace it with a network they don't have to share. With no copper, they can tell a CLEC: "you want to take that customer from me, go run you're own damn copper" (what the FCC calls 'facilities-based competition').
If a customer wants to "go back from FIOS", Verizon just turns off the internet service; their telephones are still powered by the ONT on the side of their house. |

Verizon is not placing FIOS to do away with CLEC's. Let's put it this way: if CLEC's had the right to demand sharing Verizon's fiber, there is no way that Verizon would be deploying it. FIOS deployment was 100% contingent on regulatory assurances that Verizon would have complete control over it. |
