Rather the opposite to Britain where BT has most of the copper and had 
most of the local loop and backhaul.

No-one bar a couple of cable TV companies can compete with the copper, 
but the government is encouraging (by force) LLU - or Local Loop 
Unbundling which allows other companies access to the telephone exchanges.

BT have also had a kick from the government about FTTC (fibre to the 
[street] cabinet). In fact it's going in here and I live in a 1000-odd 
household village where the nearest big town is about 10 miles away - so 
I feel pretty lucky. We're rural, but south England is dense, so even 
"rural" is not totally in the middle of nowhere.
