Personally, I think that enforced UNE is the right model. If you sell higher level services, you should not be allowed to operate the physical plant. The physical plant operating companies should sell access to the physical plant to higher level service providers on an equal footing.
To all intents and purposes what we have in the UK. BT, the old, formally government-owned, then privatised, effective last-mile monopoly, was split up. (I believe in return for some more government cash to build infrastructure, but I could be wrong on the order of events). BT OpenReach is now responsible for wires on poles / in the ground, CO space etc, and has to sell access to these to other divisions of BT (Wholesale, Residential) in the same arms-length way they sell them to other ISPs. It doesn't always work *quite* like that, especially in respect of actually getting space and power in COs, but the framework is there... Regards, Tim.
