Re: Wrong incentives
it is cheaper (yes, CHEAPER) to put fiber to the home
Not if you want more than just data service. For standard phone service you need either copper as well, or extra equipment, UPS, etc. to maintain the same level of availability.
Yes, of course, you can shove fibre alone in and tell people that they'll have unreliable phones that won't work in an emergency, but that's an apples vs oranges situation. Some of us need the reliability of POTS lines.
