My understanding is that one model that seems to work is where the municipality builds a strand of fiber from an appropriate number of centralized locations to every home in a community or neighborhood and doesn't light the fiber. They also build enough backbone fiber to each of these locations to support lots of providers.
Providers then can instantly gain access to the customers by adding appropriate gear at each of the locations and paying the muni a pittance to ride the fiber and to maintain it. Obviously this doesn't work where the muni charges too much.
