Like I said until fibre can support dial tone for the FTTN main cables are here to stay.
FTTP meant no copper was required for a normal telephone service. One of the uni v ports is used for each line. FTTN can do it, but it is more complicated and is where the discussion is happening.

Further reading has identified that the areas in Telstra' part of the FTTN trial is where the copper from the exchange is being used, ie cable in and cable out.
