Verizon running Fiber in Pittsburgh

Verizon in Pittsburgh is offering Fiber to the Home. They are requiring the end user to disconnect the copper wires and Verizon is actually removing the old wires from the ground. How intelligent. Not only can they recycle the copper and get as much as they are paying for the fiber, but they are also eliminating possible service parts of their old network that they must maintain for years and years to come.
