And to be fair to Pai, he has consistently said his main goal is to reduce the regulatory burdens preventing people from getting in to the market.

That's lip service so the big players can have their regulatory burden reduced. High startup costs and anticompetitive practices are the most significant mechanisms preventing new market entrants.

The FCC just released an NPRM to speed up access to utility poles, which is pretty much the only regulatory hurdle Google Fiber ran into. One of the options being considered is allowing new attachers to do make ready work themselves, which is similar to the one touch make ready laws Google pushed for in places like Louisville (the current pole attachment process requires existing attachers to move their own lines instead of letting new attachers move other attachers' lines themselves).

Google is hardly a startup or a new entrant into the market. They had a huge operations revenue to cover the costs of deployment.

The fact that Google Fibre exists only reinforces the assessment that you must be this big to enter the ISP market in the USA.

One then asks where is the part of the bill that forces the incumbents to give their competitors free access to the last mile.
