"The second decision was to build an open-access, passive fiber plant
that would support multiple ISPs in competition. In practice this
translates to:
* Unbundled dark fiber access lines which can be rented

* ISPs can get access to APOPs to install their line cards and
related equipment, patch in their customer access line, and connect to
their own backhaul network"
