The costs of installing a whole bunch of new cabinets would be non-trivial, unless VM could persuade customers to allow them to rip out the old transport network and replace it with MSANs in the same street furniture though that's perhaps a bit of a tough sell and Ofcom would be all over VM over the outage period.

It's tricky. There're not really many examples to follow as hardly anywhere else has any twisted pair at all in their cable network.

The mothership are quite enthusiastic about getting rid of the PSTN. Whether this happens via PacketCable or more active kit is I guess different. Both get rid of BT Wholesale.

The angle I heard is all geared up to PacketCable both for VoIP and future projects. It's essential in order to transfer to an all-IP network which, with DOCSIS 3.1 and whatever follows after, is where the company will end up being with video delivered by 100% IP multicast.
When your looking at an MSAN shelf costing approx £5500 just to give you 240 lines I know where it will be going

There many areas to do still but these will be done first
