In Japan, the municipal-level cable is owned by the state telephone monopoly NTT. When you contract with an ISP, they rent the cable and then connect you with the wider world over Internet backbones they rent from someone else.

Altogether, the system creates competition where it works (ISP services and backbones), and creates a public utility where it doesn't (last-mile cable).
