AT&T says it won’t build fiber home Internet in half of its wireline footprint - Ars Technica

Quick Summary:

AT&T is ditching copper and building fiber, but many will get only 5G or satellite.

California is the only state out of 21 in AT&T's wireline territory that hasn't yet granted AT&T's request for deregulation of old networks.

The more sparsely populated half accounts for 10 percent of the potential customer base, and AT&T does not plan to build fiber home Internet for those users.
