To be fair, there is an economic incentive to replace wired utilities: wires suck.
You have to watch out where you dig, if a cable gets damaged it has to be replaced. If the peasants rebel, they can disable communications by cutting cables. you have to keep the cables in stock. If you are in an urban area, then the cable lines and infrastructure under ground are a nightmare. The old system is a logistical nightmare. So it makes sense that they would want to replace it.
Wires suffer from little, if any, interference. They can also carry several dozen terabytes of data apiece, theoretically speaking. If you want to.uograde your fiber network, the wires don't ever have to be touched since the bottleneck lies with the rest of your equipment.

Wires also work great in emergencies and disasters.
