I know BT have ducted all new UG estates since the 80s.

I also know any company can use these ducts, and have been able to for a few years. But the demand isn't there. So sadly we'll have to rely on Openreach, who have done a decent job considering the (lack of) competition, making the UK one of the best connected countries in Europe, and well up there globally ;)
Hmmm....provided BT and the developers actually talk to each other:

Ducts should be provided (sometimes by developer, sometimes by BT) If they ain't, BT will often shove up a pole instead.

What they put in said ducts is based on commercial reasons (actually, in virtually all cases, it'll be copper, as FTTC is seen as the best compromise going forward).
