Each resegmentation pushes fibre deeper into the network. There are some areas where the nodes are in the last cabinet before the customers. The only difference between that and remote PHY is the fibre run between the cabinet and the hubsite is analogue and the affects that may have.

Remote PHY is about using fibre more efficiently - converting the RF into digital earlier so that you can use WDM to reduce fibre count. FTTLA is, as far as customer experience goes, equivalent.
