Actually there's even a simpler solution (although your idea doesn't conflict with it and both could be implemented).

What is needed to bring competition back is a law requiring that the last mile (the wire that is between your home and nearest PoP (Point of Presence) can be leased to competition (at reasonable price of course).

This is the primary reason why is it so hard to enter existing market. This is also the reason why we had so much competition in early 2000 with DSL (a phone line was used to which such law applies)
