Interesting. Here in Finland copper was "socialized" like that but then
the telcos just screwed each other over when one tried to encroach on
another's turf so it didn't work much. Bureaucrats later decided the
same is not needed for fibre for some reason.

Regardless, I got fibre from a provider who called it "open" so there
are alternative ISPs to choose from. Recently some of them even got
competetitive so I switched. So I have no hardware from the ISP, just
the fibre terminal thing from the fibre provider and I connect my Debian
router to it by ethernet.

In recent years also, some big money investors have pushed fibre in
Finland so now you can get fibre for free, mostly for detached houses
since apartment buildings are mostly hooked up. Makes one wonder what
happens to the prices when those investors sell their stakes in the
fibre companies.
