seems like a silly move, but must have made sense at the time.

Not really like all the other products and services they have stopped they are a business and I guess it was no longer financially viable as they were doing llu and putting there own equipment in the exchanges and paying bt for the privilege.

From the linked article 

"Telefonica said the deal would allow it to concentrate on providing better mobile services, including rolling out 4G."

With hindsight from my opinion, BT is going to be dominant in FTTC and not exactly going to let everyone piggyback on their work on the cheap to satisfy the regulators like they did with ADSL. Besides ADSL is incredibly cut-throat these days as the move to 4-play really does need a corporation with hands in many pockets i.e. tv services. o2 would have had to start adding value to their packages to keep customers moving and unfortunately, all that licensing of media rights has to be passed on to the end customer in some form. Besides, what would be easier to fix: a mast o2 controls in full or having to pay BT Openreach to fix your equipment when they feel like.
