April 10, 2014 – It is difficult to determine where to start.  Should I start in 2008 in New York when AT&T announced at a trade show that they were working on the idea of transitioning from TDM solutions to an all IP network? 
(http://www.fiercetelecom.com/story/t-demonstrates-new-technologies-eyes-tdm-sunset/2008-09-16).

Should I dispel the myth that an all IP network means no copper?  Or perhaps I should start with Verizon who, on a nationwide basis, is forcing customers against their will to migrate from the copper network to FIOS.

No, I think I’ll start in Carbon Hill….
