i believe dsl and wdm will be around for years to come. keep in mind how long modems have been around. you might say the same thing about fiber as you do about copper, wdm is trying to squeeze more bandwith from the technology. as 56k modems were suppose to be the "last" for copper, we now have dsl (splitterless), that will take over eventually.

wdm will never be a household product or a business product for most, but dsl will be.

millions upon millions of dsl devices will eventually be sold, these will be consumer products, wdm will never make that type of impact.

yes, dsl will be around in 15 years, just like analog modems continue to plague us more than 15 years later.
