Alternatively, private entities may still own the infrastructure, but be forced by law to rent them at reasonable price to whoever wants to start an ISP. I think this model exists in a few european countries at least.
- Nextgrid 7y agoWhile this model definitely exists, I doubt it’s helping much. At least in the UK, it’s still more expensive for my business to rent DSL lines and offer broadband on them than the retail price of what the incumbent offers (who so happens to own the physical phone lines, albeit through a weird arrangement of multiple companies). It’s definitely a step in the right direction but I’m still not convinced it helps much.
