Last month, Tom Evslin, the co-founder of Internet service provider ATT
Worldnet and voice-over-IP wholesaler ITXC, created quite a stir by
making the bold prediction that the twisted copper pair to the home
won't exist in 2013.

Tampa Council To Hear Report On Citywide Wireless
TAMPA - Making all of Tampa a wireless Internet hotspot is something
city officials say they'd like to see happen. But how to do it,
and how much it will cost, is something they have yet to
I am guessing this prediction has been made by most anyone I know who
has been around for a while. I guess when someone important says it
though then it is news. I remember many years ago when Steve Stroh told
us that the phone companies as we know them and their copper plants were
going to
I was just thinking yesterday about a conversation I had with a
telephone guy just after I took over the old winfinity.com isp-bbs.
At that time ATT said they would be in every market, wirelesly. They
would put a little antenna on the corner of every house
Who is putting little antennas
Clearwire isn't doing too bad :-) The antennas are built into the radios,
which live inside. If you're in a fringe coverage area and are willing to
pay for the installation, they do have a unit with a little antenna on the
corner of the house.
Thanks,
Steve

The reply we received from Clearwire is We are not doing external units
anymore because they cause problems with performance at the AP's. We were
very glad to hear that...
Anyone else hear this or is it just maybe a local thing??

No, not really, as ATT is betting on copper only in the last few hundred
feet to the premises. While they're not going to do fiber-to-the-premises,
they will be doing a fiber infrastructure.

The ATT (originally SBC) VDSL plan requires copper to the home. Fiber
to the neighborhood.
In VZ region, they are pulling out copper as fast as they can
replacing it with fiber. (FiOS is FTTH not FTTN).
VZ even clips the copper when they install your FiOS.
And what VZ isn't replacing,
A new group of veteran wireless entrepreneurs - the Wireless Founders
Coalition for Innovation - sent a letter last week to Federal
Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin to provide its
real-world perspective for why open access requirements are critical
for the proposed 700 MHz E

If you're in my area (NW NJ, NE PA) let me know if you'd be interested.
I've decided to back out of my Bangor / Stroudsburg PA coverage
locations, and have invested in a bunch of equipment there already
installed on towers and building tops. A few customers there as well.

Isn't the reason they are replacing some of their copper with fiber is
because they then do not have to allow competition to ride their wires?
Old wires old rules, new fiber new rules?

We purchased 6 of them in January of this year and to date five of them

My take on this is at
It's a known bug. The new ones don't have this issue.
Some kind of hardware problem with a production run or some such thing. I
had 2 or three of them do that (our of 5 or 6) and the factory fixed them
all for me. No problems since.

*NODS* I see fiber to business and industrial districts as well as fiber to
towers. I see towers serving neighborhoods, not towns. Get those 60*
sectors up in 5 gig and push some fiber to them!

oh, by 5 gig, I mean 5.25 - 5.725 (excluding a hole towards the bottom).
Plenty of spectrum to use 60* sectors with downtilt set to a mile or two.
Not only will you be listening to a smaller horizontal plane, but you're
likely to not even see a tower 4 miles away.
