Still, it seems a bizarre thing to say that they may be doing away with CLI!!!

I was surprised to find out that my brother's phone line with UPC/Chorus/NTL in Dublin comes down the coax along with the TV and Broadband signals. I'm not talking about the Siamese twin cable used by VM with coax and four-pair telephone cable joined together but an actual digital signal on the coax that goes through a converter box which you plug your analogue lines into. That technology may do away with traditional exchange equipment altogether at some point although I suspect that it's a hybrid set-up at the moment.
