<< Based on my understanding of TA96, the RBOCs are required to unbundle all network elements including DLCs and Fiber to the Curb, Fiber to the Neighborhood, etc, systems (though no one has figured out how yet). >>

No, Frank's right. Investments in building out new plant, separate from the existing copper plant, are outside the scope of the unbundling mandate. This was settled back in '97 by the Fourth Circuit Court. BEL, for example, is investing heavily in building out fiber in its region that it won't have to share.
