I thought that was the sticking point all along. with a choice of 10 providers you can imagine supporting all kinds of tradeoffs of access and cost. last mile is a pretty big barrier to entry, with all sorts of capital costs and regulatory hassle. I work in a medium sized US city and the number of providers that will serve my business location is one. I don't think I'm alone.
