Add the Austrian market for Liberty Global where they are also 'testing'
it. The Dutch variant (upc.nl + ziggo.nl) has mentions about it and so
does the Swiss edition (UPC/cablecom.ch).

Thus that is most of the German speaking cable world actually...

The UK portion of LG will likely follow to, all in the name of
liberating IPv4 space for business customers^Wthe fact that those
customers did not have typically 4 IPs in use before (modem management,
NAT-IP, phone, mediabox and optionally 3 extra NAT IPs).

And they own a whole lot more of cable around the world:

who are all going to likely follow too. See it as the Cablecom of
Europe, same business model based on DOCSIS.

According to the top of that page:
"Its cable services pass 47 million homes, with 24.5 million customers
or 48.3 million RGUs (video, internet, and voice subscribers)[3]"

That is quite a big market bigger than Comcast according to:
