How is this handled in areas that are strictly Fios or other LEC fiber? I know in many cases the copper plant is still there, but I know I've seen some Fios areas in Massachusetts, for example, where I didn't see ANY copper left on the poles. Do they make exceptions for a Fios install if there's just no copper to be had? Do they make the ONT battery backup part of the yearly elevator inspection? This must really stick in the craw of providers like VZ who are trying to run away from copper.
