Move over FTTH, copper's back in style

UK research firm Analysys Mason says in its latest report that network operators should put the brakes on fiber-to-the-home builds and reconsider the copper alternatives. The report argues that there has not been enough service and device innovation yet at the end of that FTTH connection to warrant the expense. Analysys Mason thinks we'll start to see some FTTH projects scale back and that carriers should continue to test FTTH while rolling out more VDSL.
