Structural separation means the division of a local telephone company into wholesale and retail businesses where the separate wholesale business would serve all retail telecom providers.

What I mean is to separate the physical from the logical part of the network. A telecoms supplier would reach the customer anyway he wanted over the wireco.

ILECS would still have their HDSL modems in both ends of the wires, but any competitor would be free to put any kind of box at the end of these lines to serve the customer.

Wirecos would extend fiber deep into the network as demanded for the market.

That would have the effect of a build up of new services over this network that now could be coupled of the fiber networks already on the ground but not yet lit.

This would kick start a new wave of investment in telecoms.
