Mike, i both misread your post, and expressed myself poorly. i saw "copper" and didn't read local. i thought you were writing that copper LD won't soon be replaced by fiber because there is so much of it out there. i was trying to reply that no matter how much copper is in the present total communication system, it will be abandoned when fiber becomes fully extant. as buggy whips were when Ford mass produced the car. someone may comment that this is too broad an assertion - as most broad assertions are. i should have refrained, sorry.
