I don't know that a CLEC would necessarily have to inform a user that they don't support copper in a given area. In other forms of resale, like DDS and MUZAK lines, even alarm lines, a CLEC or SP can negotiate a set of "type" terms with the incumbent and resell the ILEC's line and node electronics to a user under their own branding. This is done under the banner of wholesaling by the ILEC in some cases, and in certain types of consortia and special buying circumstances is called a Type 3 lease. Type 2, being the case when the backbone to the CLEC is provided by the CLEC itself, and Type 1 when everything belongs to the CLEC except the very last mile of copper. These typings are arbitrary and what I just stated was for illustration, only. Why would a customer want to go with a competitive carrier's Type 3 or 4 service, instead of going with the Incumbent's offering directly? They would do it for the purpose of streamlining their administrative processes. For example, if they were a large enterprise, say, and they were putting in VPNs which included telecommutes and so-hos over DSL services.
