Honestly, it might be worth doing a cost-benefit analysis as to what kind of finds they might get if they just said fuck you and did it anyway. The price of fixed wireless is much lower since you just have to run the fiber to a tower and make sure that that tower has backup power.
If they don't want to maintain the copper lines, they can always replace them with fiber.
Not to mention, fiber is cheaper than copper at this point.
Telecoms are just lazy and don't want to string up new lines.
