There are some interesting comments on this comparing to the situation in the UK with Openreach and the "market" for broadband. However there's something much more interesting happing in the UK at the moment. We are awash with PE funded FTTP (fiber to the premises) startups, in my town there're two pulling their fibre through the BT ducts and putting small boxes on the top of telegraph polls. We can now get 1gb finer for under £40/month. It's basically a repeat of the 90s / early 00s, their exit strategy is clearly for a larger player to build a conglomerate out of all of them, just as happed with [lost of small cable tv companies] -> NTL & Telewest -> Virgin Media.
