If they were to build their own network and only offer their services on that network hence giving up the right to use BT's. Perhaps that would ease competition concerns as it could give another company the opportunity to pick up their FTTC/ASDL2 customers.
I think there needs to be a serious competitor to BT and the only real way that can happen is by using a totally separate network and infrastructure to BT's.
