Ahh, "unbundling". They've officially done that in Sweden too, but the state telco has figured out that it can drag its feet. They loose every case in court, but they still delay the competitors enough for it to be worth the fines.
I tried getting a ADSL subscription last week for my new flat from a private telephone company.
"You need a phone subscription first"
"But I thought you offered that too?"
"We do, but you have to call the state telco to open a subscription first and the cancel it."
"What!?!?"
"Yes. We can only transfer numbers, not create them."
Solution? I'll borrow the WiFi of some unsuspecting neighbour for the time being.
