   That entirely depends on your locale.  No copper is being pulled in my   
   neck of the woods (eastern Ohio, former Ameritech area) -- but I've   
   heard reports in BellSouth and some other regions that AT&T is pushing   
   to shut down the copper plant.  The copper in my area is getting very   
   old (most of it is over 50 years), but it's still functional.  My land   
   line is clear and it works well.
