Break Broadband Service into Transport and Internet Access.

As in the days of dial up internet access the network owners (Cable/DSL) should be limited to providing transport of internet access, with regulated rates for the customers. The ISP's would lease capacity from the network owners to provide transport to their customers. The ISP's would be charged for volume and speed of their connection to the network. Unfortunately the breakup will probably increase cost to the customer because they will have to pay the network provider and the ISP on separate bills. On the other hand this will give the customer a choice of ISP's.

Isn't that the way Japan does things? And wouldn't the terrorist win if our internet becomes as good as Japan's?

In Japan, correct me if I'm wrong, but ISPs do NOT lease capacity from the pipe owners, but instead you personally buy both a pipe and an ISP to provide services over the pipe. So the consumer could theoretically have a choice of both pipe provider and ISP.

Maybe I was thinking about phone lines there, I read that anyone can lease them for ~$2/m wholesale to any residence.
