FTTH by aerial distribution makes sense where there is no cable as installation costs are a hell of a lot less than aerial deployment of HFC.

I'm sure FTTH / or existing cable service running over fibre, would ultimately mean each home is sharing a node with fewer connections.. 32 if I remember correctly? Where as with current digital cable, hundreds of homes can be found sharing the infrastructure?? Although I may have misunderstood all this!!
