http://www.sfgate.com/blogs/images/sfgate/beltran/2009/07/24/Tina_modotti_wires447x625.jpgThis is not the result of many different providers, it's the result of one provider stringing many lines to supply service. I'm guessing this was before they figured out how to run trunk lines and then split out the calls from the trunk into individual lines closer to the end user's location - or how to bundle lines together, etc. So each wire we see in that photo is a *single* wire running from the central office to one subscriber (or party line).

Department of Telecommunications (DoT), is the monopoly operator in India. That photo isn't due to a situation where there were numerous different providers, it's due to ONE provider with a monopoly, doing a half-assed job.
I checked the first and last links you posted, and neither of them had anything to do with the topic of "50 providers stringing lines to every house". I'm not going to waste my time checking the rest of the links - especially since you can't even bother to properly format them so they don't break and they have to be pieced together to work.
