Wrong he is! 1. Copper infrastructure is aging and many cables will need replacement soon. 2. Copper infrastructure is physically much larger per customer served than coax cable. 3. Copper will require lots of space within the telephone exchange for interfaceing to the internet. 4. Cable is far more efficient at multiplexing the infrastructure and, therefore, delivers bandwidth on demand. 5. A coax cable trunk can be repaired or replaced much quicker than a multipair copper cable. Disaster recovery is, therefore much easier. It is often easier to lean on the tried and true, but copper technology has not delivered 56k for dial up. What will lt deliver on DSL with all real factors taken into account?
