Good points.

The unbundling you advocate almost happened, at least in one case to my knowledge. Some of my friends in a small ILEC (recently bought out by a big ILEC) were told they were going to be split into a 'wire' company and a 'service' company. They all asked to be in the wire company, since they knew there would be competition in the service company, and didn't trust themselves (and their management) to compete.

I think this will happen- the only thing stopping it is the central office is owned by the wire-company, and right now there is no way around that, until voice over DSL (voip or voatm) is real. Even then, there will be real questions how to fund the wire company.
