Urmmmm, replace the word CableCo with Openreach and that is exactly how it works in the UK. The customer facing arm of BT doesn't own any of the network, and has to pay the same as everyone else to use the network.

I don't see the investment as just BT or Openreach's to make. A whole new network needs to be put in, Virgin stopped doing this a decade ago because it is flipping expansive !!!
