I think saying they will lose if they don't go FTTP is a completely fair statement. The point is that FTTP is the future, CVs fiber to the poll is outdated and cannot compete with fiber to the premises.

A tiny segment of Internet users generate almost half of all Internet traffic, according to data from Internet traffic management company Ellacoya. In monitoring traffic across different networks, the company analyzed the data of about 2 million Internet users from August to December of 2006 in order to categorize them into five groups: "bandwidth hogs," "power users," "up and comers," "middle children," and "barely users." As it turns out, bandwidth hogs only make up about 5 percent of the entire Internet-using audience, but generate about 43.5 percent of the total traffic. Conversely, another 40 percent of users—the barely users—make very light use of the Internet and only generate about 3.8 percent of traffic. The remaining 55 percent of users generate the remaining 50 percent of traffic.
