Meanwhile...
Perhaps 5 years ago, I visited the small Dutch city of Amersfoort. In the historic centre, there were newly-installed fibre tails by every ancient front door.
Now, admittedly, the streets consist of paviers laid on sand which means the "TTP" bit of FTTP is reasonably cost-effective to install. But the cost of ducts around a new-build site are pretty negligible if they're installed at the time of the other construction work. It seems to me it isn't the builders who need an incentive to provide the on-site infrastructure, but OpenReach that needs to be required to provide the backhaul: and if digging up roads is too expensive then it's not exactly hard to sling fibre from poles.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
