Typically the CPE address is private, not sure why they would use a
public IP. The MTA (VoIP) part of the modem would need a public IP if
it was talking to a SIP server that was not on the same network. Most
smaller cable system outsource their VoIP to a reseller with a softswitch.

One for the cable modem itself, one for the subscriber (or more depending on their package), and one for voice delivery (packetcable). If we moved even two of three IP assignments to native V6 we'd reclaim a lot of V4 space - I can only imagine someone their size and what this means...
