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.

I think you might have taken what I am saying the wrong way. I personally don't know why VM should have to open their ducting just because BT have. The cable network is not for the public/ government to decide. The cable network is VM's plus point against the old BT networks.
I also do not see why the new network for BT is being implemented here:
Its not being funded by the DRD due to this area having a cable infrastructure which more than 70% of people in this area are on. So what possible gain is their for BT to offer their service? Im close to my local exchange (less than a mile) and both DSL and ADSL offer good speeds for customers, once again, what is the new network going to bring to those people around here who simply want to look up youtube or google.
I know for a fact BT ran out of cabinets, a good friend works for my local electric board and he supplies the cabinets, thats why the trenches where dug out, all for a new supply. Then BT had to fill in the holes again because they didnt have enough cabinets.
