But it limits the capability of the fibre and services that be provided. It's fine for areas next to existing network as you can deliver existing HFC over it, and in the future you can swap out the kit and deliver epon over the same passive network.

But there is no sense in totally new build areas such as Chester, Wrexham or Dunfermline in providing an RFoG solution. It should be epon.

Got to look a bit further ahead.
