Am I missing something here. FO carry light, digitally modulated, lo power. This bodes well for communications. Copper carries communication as well as heavy power. FO will eventually eliminate copper for communications but not, to the best of my knowledge, as a transporter of heavy power. No doubt , the Newly Developing Nations will grow using FO for communications not copper. However having that, with the exception of aluminum, copper is the only economical alternative for power transmission within a plant, house, external lighting, etc.
