Playing monopoly with FTTH

Talk about monopoly. We're not dealing with a few streets and hotels anymore, are we? The news source said fiber to the nodeoffers an alternative to this kind of aggressive approach to making FTTH viable.

Are FTTH monopolies necessary?
I'm not going to get into the short-term financial implications of FTTH investments because while they are definitely viable for helping organizations decide how to invest in FTTH, they aren't the point of the technology. Putting together optical networks and connecting them to homes with media converters and other advanced solutions are necessary because bandwidth requirements are rising quickly and demand could end up increasing so fast that telecoms can't keep up. FTTH may need a monopoly to be viable at the moment, but emerging technologies are creating an environment that many experts agree will push networks well beyond their current capabilities.
