Ai Nasir needs a lot of copper to wire those data centres

AT&T just announced they're officially ending copper telephone service. I suspect they'll start ripping up old conduit and neighborhood wiring just for the copper when they're doing other trench work.

Oh someone will
NotThePoint
No, they won't. The labor to remove it costs significantly more than the copper.

And replacing it with fiber or shitty wifi?
NotThePoint
No, it's been displaced by VoIP.

Doesn't voip work over copper and fiber and wifi last mile? Just concerned what they replace the copper with.
NotThePoint
It doesn't matter if VoIP worked on unicorn farts because no telecom companies are pulling up all the copper they have laid because it takes too much time/labor/money and therefore isn't worth the effort.
