You can't really regulate an impossible solution though.

Unbundling has a clear model that works (or is at least workable), look at the US between 1996 and 2004, or most of Europe now.

Growth in internet speeds was way faster from 2004-present than from 1996 to 2004. In 1996, my parents had 28.8 kbps dial-up. In 2001, they got 256 kbps DSL. That's 10x over 5 years. In 2006, they got 50 mbps fiber. That's 200x over 5 years. See: http://www.ieee802.org/3/ad_hoc/bwa/public/sep11/cloonan_01a....
