Operators who offered ADSL built a PPPoE provisioning and all the billing infrastructure behind and even if doing PPPoE on FTTH does not make *any* technical sense, I heard that re-doing and changing the whole provisioning system would cost them too much, so they went the easy way - PPPoE over anything/everything. It is what it is and I guess we'll have to live with it ;)
Having a PPPoE interface to every customer also simplify network monitoring (get interface traffic via SNMP, for example) and ethernet VLAN to seperate customers L2 traffic could not be a viable solution, maybe because CPE needs manual configuration to set VID.
So, even new operators can find PPPoE better than DHCP or IPoE. Regards Claudio
