Automate the Rollout
– roll out FTTN (fiber to the node), FTTC (fiber to the curb) or FTTB (fiber to the basement) as a first step on the road to FTTH,
– which existing infrastructure can be reused in the deployment.

Greenpeace Activism
Mine that Twisted Pair
– One of the best arguments for FTTH Investment;
– Laying fiber would enable telcos to mine the old yet valuable telephone line copper & recycle it.
– Identify the right material right from the beginning;
– Copper network is on its dying legs;
– No competitiveness between Copper & Fiber (optimization is a lost cause).
– Urban mining – Utilize Copper in Electric Engines, Appliances
No alternatives for Moving Electrons …a lot of alternatives for moving information
