$15.00

An estimate of copper displacement by fiberoptic technology is presented from 1979 through 1987. The lack of consistent market information prevents this paper from quanitfying the effects into 1990, however the potential impact on copper, penetration into the subscriber loop, limits to fiberoptic technology, and long term impact is estimated.
