I still see some aerial lead cable in rural parts of Maine. I also still see a lot of lead closures on pic. Most of the lead cable appears to be abandoned-in-place; newer pic was lashed over top of it, and now fiber lashed on top of that. The weight of that extra cable must be massive. hbiss is right, too cheap to remove the AIP lead cable. It's kind of an eyesore for those of us who know what we're looking at.
