Reading a bit more on it they seem to have a solution to the power problem they are talking about using a reverse power feed from the premises. I assume they are talking about using the 48V line voltage. Where it can deliver enough power in the UK I don't know.

If anyone fancies a trip to Amsterfam they should find out more

No. Reverse power frm the premises is not "48V line voltage" (from the exchange) it's using CPE in the receiving premises to power the kit.

"Low-Cost, Low Power (10 Watt) Mini
Distribution Points Get Power Remotely
from a Home�s Modem" as per the link.
