The law of physics will gently back off and new ISPs will be able to install infrastructure on top of the existing one?
Existing ISPs have a de facto monopoly, because there isn't unlimited space to install backbones. Given that it is impossible to change that and have a free market, the next best thing is to regulate their market and forbid them from distorting the one built on top of it.
> cheaper services for the end consumers
Don't be naive: consumers will pay the same price for a shit-tier internet, those who can afford it will pay a premium for "regular" internet.
