Err I think you'll find it is the FTTP nutjobs such as yourself that are
pushing 'the one true path' line. I've been involved in enough IT projects
in the last couple of decades to know that you're in the shit as soon as
someone says "Let's do this right and let's do this once" (English
translation: "Let's be inflexible and dogmatic").

You don't need a masters degree in the blinding obvious to work out turning
off 3.5 million hfc services and replacing them with 3.5 million gpon
services is a stupid waste of money. Yay - let's spend a gazillion dollars
turning 100mbps into 100mbps.

David.
