Have to correct myself. If the build is all going to be so close to existing network rather than actually building out to adjacent areas some of the premises will probably be fed from the existing coaxial network.

I was, it seems, optimistic. Only building within 50m gives a big FTTPR vibe and continues to leave me bemused as to why it would be so expensive. I was quoted £600-ish per home passed for an entire estate.
Have a listen to the webcast yourself, the key bit on this is around 0.48.55 minutes into it and let me know what you think. Fries is not being entirely clear, yet if you read between the lines, he is.
