That is one thing they can do - technically it just means that another company can install equipment in BT exchanges and that the BT customers can then choose to have their copper wire plugged into that company's hardware instead of BT. Therefore that company would have to offer a standard phone line as well as DSL, etc..
NTL are exploring using this as a way of getting more direct customers (not NTL:Freedom which runs over the existing BT hardware) without having to lay new cables.
