This is a real nightmare though and something ought to be done about it - a monopoly of ISP choice is really unhealthy. I don't know that any public money went into this, but still it is still a big opportunity lost to the people of Aberdeen and to small ISPs. Someone in government ought to be made aware of this pattern. I wonder how.
If there is no public money in it then unfortunately it's up to CityFibre what they do, but that is not good enough. There needs to be some carrot/strong incentive given to these developers to get them to wholesale. I would be pretty mad if I were in Aberdeen. in fact it has already happened in my village and the surrounding area.
