[asterisk-biz] Anyone experienced in cable telephony?

[Alex Balashov]

No, I meant analog "POTS" as in an offering that is transported as VoIP 
to the customer and then handed off as analog.  The ATA sort of concept. 
  This is what Comcast does when it sells VoIP lines.  They don't really 
tell you it's VoIP, they just include "phone service" in their 
triple-play bundle.  They've sold 10M+ lines this way, while we're busy 
evangelising the merits of VoIP as such.

If you have an ATA, then you just need a VoIP service delivery platform 
on the ISP side.  No need for any "partitioning" per se unless you are 
looking to do channelised/fractional circuits (why?) or operate a 
separate overlay voice network.
