The telecommunications industry is at a critical juncture as legacy copper networks, once the backbone of global communications, are giving way to more advanced fibre optic networks.

This paper examines the critical issues associated with decommissioning copper networks and outlines a pragmatic roadmap for CSPs navigating this transition.
