The other network

The government and the regulator seem to only consider the BT network when discussing and implementing regulatory schemes for the provision and compulsory commercialisation for the benefit of resellers.
We are now at the stage where the cable company fibre network should be included with the BT network for (what a horrible word) commercialisation.
It is technically as possible for a cable last mile to be unbundled as for BT. If there is argument against this on the grounds of technical difficulty then the same argument may be said to apply as and when the BT last mile is converted to fibre and the copper removed.
Apart from the danger of creating a mindless monopoly, there seems to be a lot to be said for the creation of a company to take over ALL physical networks and sell access to providers, be they TV or broadband or whatever.
Shares in such a company would continue to be owned proportionally as currently held.
Takes thinking about!!
