shall we encourage more copper line thieves so we can get fiber earlier then?
Great idea!!! 
Maybe you can start at your area first. 
Out of curiosity, how many times more expensive is fibre vs copper?

new area using fiber to the street..then from then using msan/dlc to provide phone service...if using dlc..must locate rdslam..but from MPOC/DLC [cabinet] to the home still copper.
still remember staff from zte china say..in china also they have lots of copper cable being stolen....[they even have alarm direct connect to the authority once the cable is being cut]but yet its being stolen too....
when they lay new fiber ..they had to make a notice board juz to say ."This is A Fiber Cable." to tell the possible thief from cutting the fiber..lol
... and after stealing the copper cable, maybe the thief can put up a sign to say "Please Replace with Fibre or else I will steal it again". still remember staff from zte china say..in china also they have lots of copper cable being stolen....[they even have alarm direct connect to the authority once the cable is being cut]but yet its being stolen too....

pls correct me if i'm wrong,
there always resale value for (underground/black market) as long the cable are good condition & great length.
I think if you were stealing the cable, you probably won't have much time to handle it carefully because the police may pass you anytime and off you go to have free food and lodging at the expense of the government. there always resale value for (underground/black market) as long the cable are good condition & great length.
Might not be a bad idea in these times of economic downturn.This post has been edited by Xybirium: Jan 16 2009, 08:25 PM
