Is it credible that there is someone out there that believes that the
price of a bit of scrap metal will be worth pulling out all the buried
copper telephone cable in the ground in Australia?, I suppose it must be.

As with most comments on this issue, it is based on another invalid
assumption. "Replacing" copper with fibre actually means the services
using the different medium, the actual old copper cables will (in the vast
majority of cases) remain in the ground because the cost of removing them
will be enormous.
