Episode Details

Israel's 2009 telecom reforms forced incumbents to host virtual operators and cut mobile prices by 60–80%. So why not go further — one physical network owned by the state, with every retail provider renting equal access? This episode unpacks that proposal, then tests it against real examples: Liechtenstein's LKW, Singapore's NetLink Trust, Ireland's SIRO, Italy's FiberCop and Open Fiber. The key distinction turns out to be wholesale-only versus state-as-retailer — and almost no country runs the version that was actually proposed.
