[Discuss] Verizon phasing out copper

[Jack Coats]

Yep.  Reminds me of GM 'funding' the removal of local trolley tracks in
cities all over the nation and even some 'intra-urban' rail systems in and
around the 1920s. ... Or the natural gas and electric companies having the
'unsightly' passive copper solar pool heaters removed 'for free' in
southern California around the 1950's.

Basic anti-competitive action using FUD.  Sounds like the computing
industry in the last 30 years.
