Meh, there are BNG solutions out there;

I've seen some business services over DOCSIS where you're using VPLS to come
back to a central router of your choosing, but it's still Ethernet.  There's
DHCP and mac addresses and a connection-less medium.  PPPoE solves that, but
then you're doing PPP.   Oh and you have the fun of doing ldp signaled VPLS
with a CMTS that was made by people who don't understand it.

There's several other BNG solutions out there, and I'm happy to go a bit
deeper if you're down the TR-69 path.  For the business customer, most are
going to balk at anything other than a static IP Ethernet service delivered
over Ethernet.  Depending on your skill-set and network size you might be able
to roll this yourself.
