Probably having diffuculty (or not bothering to) obtaining copper in your area, and instead laid fibre to the area(or bought fibre). They terminate the fibre at both ends, provision a DS1 signal over it and voila, you have a T-1. This was commonly done with T3(DS3) installations, but with the DSL craze, getting copper lines has become difficult, thus the move to provision fibre and cut bell out of the loop. If you can get the fibre in cheaply enough, having a customer pay for a copper DS1 with local loop and pocketing all the cash to pay for your fibre infrastructure instead of paying a bell is a good business model.

I need a 4 ft square panel on the wall so they can mount a couple of things: - Fiber Cable Termination - Soneplex Equip - Smart Jack Shelf - Rectifier Cabinet - Battery Cabinet Also their instruction paper says: "Requirements for DS-1 Service via Fiber" Since I don't have that much experience I am beginning to wonder what is going on. Can any of you shed any light? Thanks!
