"Symmetric, 100 Mbps service in Stockholm costs
$11/month<http://cis471.blogspot.com/2009/04/why-is-connectivty-in-stockholm-so-much.html>[in
Stockholm.] Conditions in every city are different, but part of the
explanation for the low cost is that the city owns a municipal fiber network
reaching every block. They lease network access to anyone who would like to
offer service. The ISPs, including incumbent telephone and cable companies,
compete on an equal footing."*
