There are some interesting ways to increase competition, including:
1) New access methods (WISPs, etc.)
2) Letting providers pick types of customers (multi-tenant buildings, for instance)
3) Dropping universal coverage requirements at some level of granularity -- maybe a provider only serves new neighborhoods, or some smaller lot size neighborhoods, or richer neighborhoods more likely to buy service.
4) Shared trenching/pole access, possibly in the form of bulk-running infrastructure a few times per year?
5) Shared physical infrastructure in some areas -- maybe local or single-purpose utility owned, like fiber in the ground going to neighborhood locations with Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory colo for provider equipment, or optical cross-connects?)
