Third parties can buy access to the last mile to the subscribers home. The equipment provider gets a mandated rate from the third party which is guaranteed to give them an agreed rate of return on their investment.

Don't we (Canada) have it already? My ISP (Teksavvy) offers both DSL (last mile: Bell) and cable (last mile:Rogers) internet. Unlimited for those who want to pay, 300 GB otherwise (two months running average).
