So anyone could just enter the market?

Better question, why would anyone ever build a network if they are prohibited from making a profit?

That kind of legislation usually is only relevant for the "incumbent" (because the rules usually state "if you have more than x% of the lines .."), i.e. the ex-monopoly provider who didn't build anything. It was build by tax payer money and then given to them.

They are still making a significant profit, but not as much as they would without this legislation.
