As with everything in life, it will always depend on the contract you have
with your supplier and the contracts that you supplier has with this 
suppliers and so on. 
For example if Bozotelco builds a huge fibre network all over the
world but then goes bust before they paid the bill for the fibre
- who owns the fibre ? :-)
