'Atom bomb' solution for fast net access. Big telecom operators that fail to open up their services to rivals could lose control of the telephone networks. [BBC News: sci/tech]

Europe gets it. By allowing large monopolies to control the last mile, it stifles competition for broadband service in that market.  And why should the monopoly hop to it when they are not going to be making money off the fast service that is being offered on their network? They get little to nothing for doing so since they are not running the more expensive service.

So now the EU is threatening a legal seperation of the networks if they do not get their schtick together. Good call.
