California says AT&T can't shut down copper DSL network

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
didn't Verizon overbuild most, if not all, of the area with FiOS? not sure how they're getting away with it in the rural regions unless there are still CLECs operating. All this to say... fiber still has the issue of power outages and nonfunctioning customer backup batteries in the ONTs and I vaguely remember some drama over Verizon not offering replacement batteries or providing backups at all.
FIOS doesn't cover any county that doesn't have a major city in it. That excludes about half the state's population.
