"BT, or Kingston Communications if you live in Hull, will be obliged to say yes."

That's true, a USO will force them to say yes. But they won't be forced to supply it at a specified price if they can show it would be inordinately expensive. There are always economic loopholes in USO obligations. That's why there are rural communities with no mains gas, or with cess pits.
