Well here in the UK, BT are rolling out FTTC (Fiber to the Cabinet). Third Party ISPs can install their min-DSLAMs into the cabinet, which is usually not very far away in an urban or semi-urban environment. This will be VDSL, delivering 50mbps!

If I were Teksavvy I'd be doing a projection on the costs of rolling out my own DSLAMs, and the value of reselling that on to other customers, really really fast. Probably approaching some UK companies like TalkTalk to buy in their experience for 2 weeks of consultation and costing models. Then contacting Huawei, and getting their army of Chinese engineers to come out and install these DSLAMs, or train Canadian engineers how to do it.
