That's a pretty broad brush you got there.

Basically what happened was, cable companies made a deal with cities to essentially get a monopoly on Internet infrastructure, and they keep lobbying for additional barriers to block entry for new competitors. So if a new telecom tries to come in, they'll lock them up in lawsuits to encourage them to go away. Here's an example in Nashville. Generally they'll lobby for newcomers to have to ask them for help or permission, then drag their feet to waste the other company's time and money.

So eliminating those types of regulations could help new ISPs compete in new markets. There should obviously be some regulations, but they need to be reasonable and relevant, like they need to fix any roads they dig up, get permission from the city to run cable on existing conduit, etc.
