Agree.

The models I listed are typical to an operator that runs its 
own infrastructure (including the FTTH last mile), and does 
not necessarily wholesale out to other operators.

I've seen certain countries that have given the incumbents 
leeway to wholesale at the IP level, which the incumbent 
likes because they "perceive" more control than if they had 
to hand-off Layer 2 wholesale. In such cases, VRF's and/or 
logical routers have been deployed.

Agree. DHCP really is the way to go, now. Plus, there is 
good support for IPv6 with vendors today re: DHCP-based 
subscriber management.
