Historically, Like the U.S. highways, the Bell networks have been regarded as a unique infrastructure that had to be open to others on terms that were fair.

"This is much bigger than Lafayette," Durel says. "This is about economic development for us. This is about future-proofing our city."

If the Bells want the exclusive right to build fibers and not allow other to do it, they have to:

1. Allow everyone to share the new fiber in a fair price
2. They have to build complete FTTH/FTTP, but not just FTTN (Fiber To the Nodes, or Fiber To The Neighborhood), or to some where in the middle.
3. There should be fines/penalties if they can't keep their promise to build the fiber like signing a contract
