There is a big telephone company (Telefonica) that once was a monopoly. It had to open up for new, smaller, telcos, then open again for ISPs.

It sounds exactly like how it's done elsewhere - Switzerland, Germany, Britain. I doubt if they have separate equipment in the exchanges, it's not necessary.
Its amazing what the equipment manufacturers can do with software.
