Why do you say it's impossible in the US?

It's impossible due to regulatory and lobbying pressure. I believe Palo Alto, CA operates a network similar to this, but that kind of network isn't possible in a city like San Francisco or LA.

IMHO the incumbent carriers have no interest in competing if they can be a monopoly.
