What you picture an "open" residential fiber network looks like? Any examples of government funded / owned systems and how ISPs are allowed to operate on that system?
In a basic configuration, I see: Data Center <-transport-> Town Central Office <-FTTH-> Customer [I picture the network operator managing the system and its hardware, and an ISP would gain access to a connection from the Data Center to the Customer for a fixed price. The ISP would be provided with a QinQ tunnel that would be untagged at the customer location. Any identified outages or service requests would be provided to the network operator. If a new customer wanted service, the ISP would contact the network operator and the appropriate contractor would complete the installation.] Am I missing something, or what other was would such a network typically be run?
