The problem with C.O. is the Central. In technology, Centralized systems will always lose to distributed systems.

If we distribute the functionality all over the place, an accident on a certain part of the network, can be dealt in a cheaper and much faster way.

Knock down a couple of BTS's and we can roll them on pick up trucks and put into position until we can replace the old ones. I can bet that wireless was ON AIR much fatsre than any cable based facility around ground zero. (have made no research but its my gut feeling)

One thing that I have always been against te concept of the Mega-Swicth -a couple of million lines handled by a mother exchange and with remote switching stages spread all over the place- was its danger to knock it out with a single blow.

But the CO -as we know it today- has, perhaps, some 5 years before becoming technically obsolete. The existing CO has an average remaining life of between four and five years.

When that stuff will be replaced, it will be replaced by a network based on distributed system.

WhatI like about that is that the soon to be technically technology stuff belongs to ILECs. Because ILECs and thier suppliers built tight-coupled elements, there will be no way to savlage parts of it. It will be junked all at one go.

We will live to see places where today we have CO being leased as car parks, malls or skate rings. IT will happne between 2005 - 2010 in the US. In other parts of the world perhaps later than that.
