Yep. I don't think VPNs are sufficient. RSP-independent channels are
what you need. That they are manifest as physical ports on the NTU is
really just a convenience factor.

Actually I think there is. You want to entrench the concept at rollout
even if those on MTM solutions have a poor experience because trying
to retrofit it later against entrenched deployments will be
impossible.

Also, the ubiquity aspect include ubiquity of capabilities. If a
council (say) has to make deployment of a service conditional on
whether you're on MTM or fibre it would be a logistical headache and
much harder to justify since that large population of second-class
NBNers miss out.
