Sure, Australians got themselves FTTH and guess what, incumbent industry think tank helped during the planning phase by slipping some great ideas ... like data caps :D

data caps on the internal traffic that never leaves the network

Nope. Australians lost their FTTH when they elected a new government. They are getting upgrades to existing HFC, FTTN or wireless/satellite and the rollout is going to be much slower and more expensive and without the speed guarantees. Crony capitalism at its best.
