I've dug everywhere and can't turn up anything definitive.
The language, however, of "guaranteed access to an affordable line" does seem to imply a TELCO will have to run a line to your property at your request? Without fees (since that wouldn't be affordable)?
Perhaps, in practice, this resulted in all new construction having lines run since that was cheaper than doing it ad-hoc upon demand.

Yes, hopefully someone out there knows more! Honestly curious now, since I had always assumed this was how it was.
