If you object so strongly to having the required infrastructure for next generation services present please do complain to your local council to have said cabinets removed. I'm sure the 50% of the UK that doesn't have any of that available will be happy to take it off your hands. As it is my heart bleeds for you having cable and fibre to cabinet available.

A lot of people care if BT open their ducting, it presents opportunities. If you don't care that's your prerogative, those less well served than you who stand to benefit from other operators using the ducting to deploy services most certainly do care.

Out of interest how do you know that they ran out of cabinets? The most cabinets I've seen placed together by the FTTC project is two, which is enough for 576 lines. Trenches are required from these cabinets to the previous BT cabinet.

BT certainly haven't run out of the FTTC cabinets they've thousands of them.
