New areas = extra money. Fixing oversubscription != extra money.

It will be interesting to see how it is deployed. I would hazard a guess it'll be similar to North America - long lines running along streets with each however many homes required tapped off this cable run outside the property, so lots of smaller taps, and a line extender when required rather than the more common build here with a cabinet every so often with 24 or more taps and extender if needed in that cabinet.
