Its not clear that the Nordic model is being used in any other European country, so I'm not sure that we can count low fiber rates in e.g. Italy, Germany of evidence of the model's lack of scalability.

Perhaps more significantly, (data from the same table), I'm interested to know what the deployment models look like in Japan and Korea.

Japan: 2.6 DSL, 5.3 cable, 21.8 fiber. South Korea: 2.8 DSL, 8.5 cable, 28.3 fiber.

Switzerland uses a similar model, where any provider can sell services on the FTTH network that many communities are building out.

See e.g. https://www.fiber7.ch/ for a very attractive provider :).
