Enshittification?
The original delivery mechanism, copper, was convenient to carry electricity over. However, copper has high maintenance costs due to moisture intrusion, breakages, and signal degradation. It also has theoretical upper bound on bandwidth. In many locations the copper may never even make it to the CO anymore and may be served by a pedestal with fiber and a small battery backup.
Is replacing the deteriorating, limited, copper infrastructure really enshitification? I expect telecommunications, not power deliver, personally.
