Less than the cost per property of many of the BDUK funded projects which are FTTC.

Though there is a counter idea, if Openreach loses a lot of its 'wholesale' revenue BT could make distinct overtures for the equivalence to be watered down so a more vertically integrated BT Retail Infinity service was possible, at the expense of the smaller operators who only represent 3 to 6% of the market (6% includes EE)

Fingers crossed Ofcom tell them to go forth and compete by investing rather than spending as little as possible on a basic FTTC solution. May loosen the grip on the purse strings the short-termist shareholders have.

Sure this network won't be wholesale too?

Of course. Most of BDUK is rural which has inherently greater costs.

However mostly the BDUK projects just connect to a cabinet. This project is for FTTP where a connection has to be made to each property.

True but population density will always win out. Installers just don't have to travel as far in order to cover as many properties. If you had ten thousand leaflets to hand out it'll cost you less in time and fuel if you are doing it in a city. Despite all the technological advances geography and demographics still offer a huge advantage to cities. That's why they continue to grow at the expense of rural communities.

Plus fact that core network is being utilised by businesses and local council as a major user which means a lot of FTTP will be already deployed in theory
