Yeah, I get it. I think we're just too early for a structural separation
model in comm infrastructure.
I think when we get to mix & match DSP/optics and point to point fiber
in the OSPs, as done in data centers, it may change. But today it's PON
at best which implies a communal decision

Hi Sebastian,
Here's a good link on Glasgow, KY likely the first U.S. muni network
started around 1994. It looks like a one and done type investment. Their
offering was competitive for maybe a decade and now seems to have fallen
behind for the last few decades.
Hi Sebastian,
The U.S. of late isn't very good with regulatory that motivates investment into
essential comm infrastructure. It seems to go the other way, regulatory
triggers under investment, a tragedy of the commons.
The RBOCs eventually did overbuild. They used wireless and went to contract

Thanks for the link, I think this contains solid arguments for the FCC's
current position. I for one am convinced that
