While you are right about the differences between USA and Switzerland, I do not see any relationship between those and the problem discussed here.

There is absolutely no doubt that the system used in Switzerland is the right one and the system used in USA is the wrong one.

As TFA says, the optical fiber infrastructure that connects all individual customers is a case of natural monopoly and it must be built in a standard way and it must be shared by all who compete for communication services, exactly like the distribution of water or of electricity or like the public roads, which are the best analogy, and which must also be shared freely by anyone who provides transportation services.
