I think this is a great idea.  Actually I think this is a necessary
idea.  When Verizon installs fiber to the home they rip out the old
copper wires.  The way the laws are setup you are no longer able to
choose your ISP when that happens.  I would really love the high
speeds of fiber, but I'm not willing to give up my freedom from
monopoly to do it.

My feeling is that the cable TV industry is moving towards fiber to
the home too, but I think they may be even more opposed to freedom
than the traditional telcos.
