I don't believe anyone was looking at the UK model? But now that you
mention it the UK has a rather interesting model for fibre deployment,
a significant portion of the country has "fibre optic broadband"
avaliable from multiple providers.

BT Openreach (and others on their infrastructure) offer "Fibre Optic
Broadband" over twisted pair, and VirginMedia offer "Fibre Optic
Broadband" over coax.

The UKs 'just pretend it's fibre' deployment method is cheaper than
both PON and SS. Only requirement is that you have a regulator that
doesn't care when companies flat out lie to customers.
