The US unbundled the local loop in 1996, but it was done by 2003.

Maybe I’ve got the terminology wrong, so please correct me, I thought unbundling meant you wouldn’t have things like “I can only get Comcast in my neighborhood / building”
1. Cable TV was never unbundled, just telephone/DSL

2. In 2003 FCC ended unbundling of DSL (though unbundling had already had a lot of teeth removed by various court cases and FCC interpretations of the law).
