In South Africa (we don't have city-owned/operated fibre access), all 
the major fibre operators run a GPON network. They all provide open 
access to the ISP's they partner with. So far, it seems to work well.

I'd say only one of the fibre operators is not an ISP (there may be 
more, it's a big country). The rest are, but they run the businesses as 
a silo so that they are fair to both their ISP divisions as well as the 
3rd party ISP's they partner with.

Mark.
