US comparison…

But what to do?
Regulation?Competition?
Telephony is not a “natural monopoly”— What about Internet connectivity?

Be careful what you ask for…

Local Right-of-Way is a bottleneck

Using the right of way also has issues

Cable bundles leading to one fiber per home

Who lights the fiber? At least 2 choices!
1. Regulated monopoly lights the fibers• All homes get same speed(s) and are locked to those
electronics until the whole neighborhood is upgraded
2. Homeowners pick an ISP to light their fiber• Homeowner selects the speeds & services desired
