No, but they might have said, "We're going to stop buying
ADSL1/ADSL2/ADSL2+ DSLAM modules, and start buying ADSL1/ADSL2/ADSL2+/VDSL
DSLAM modules for replacements and future deployments."

Alternatively, they might have said, "Here are bits of our market
where we think we'll get more revenue out of VDSL, let's put it 
in those areas." (like they did with SHDSL)

What's actually happened is, "We're not going to buy anything at all."
