That is the irony of it, most of what is currently getting built is fttp. The new FTTN stuff has not made it out of trials yet and the hfc is a long way off.
It is pretty unclear if ramping fttp design back up and pressing on would actually be a delay of not. I suspect not. The advantage of the hfc network buyout may be the ability to assume the Optus position on poles (where there are two aerial HFC networks, Optus is the top one) improving the chance of design success.
