I think it'll be more a case of deployment happens where FTTC is already in place as g.fast is designed to work with FTTC present (or at least, it can account for it without interfering).

I was speaking about G.fast in 2016.

Update 12:10pm In response to a few questions we have learnt that some G.fast nodes may be deployed from the fibre cabinets, the advantage being that DC power is available.

This year's pilot will test deployment scenarios and it'll become clearer at that time how Openreach are deploying. I would not be surprised if the 2016/7 financial year deployment is small, as they are still building out for BDUK, and tackling the easier stuff first which means where power and backhaul are easily available.
