So you are going to prohibit the operator of the fiber plant from running layer 3 services, but then turn around and let them offer IPTV? That seems quite inconsistent to me. And just because it's "hard"?

Running a decent layer 3 service is "hard" too. Isn't the whole point to let these service providers compete with each other on the quality and cost of their services?
