It can be applied very easily. VM are simply told to open up their network.

Plus what happens if you want to move from a provider that has used VM's ducts to install their cabling to Virgin Media? Would VM be able to use the same cable or would they have to remove it all and start again? Seems like a logistical nightmare
Operators wouldn't use VM's ducts to deliver HFC cable, they'd use them for fibre to the premises. The actual drop cable wouldn't be the same I imagine.
