If it weren't for the formerly ntl old boy's network at Ofcom regulating BT to death to the point where there's no point in them doing fibre to cabinets or to homes we could be seeing rollouts of technologies like this.

Oh well, so long as the next insanely cheap and crappy LLU DSL offer comes along. Of course have to protect ntl:Telewest from big bad BT as well.

France now joins Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Italy and others with live fibre to the home networks.

We again won't see this for years as Ofcom have made it pointless for BT to do it and no-one else wants to make the investment (BT do actually want to invest in these things but unless they make money there's no point, and Ofcom ensure they won't).
