They're basically selling the right to be a monopolistic utility vs. a consumer facing monopoly.
1. No one else is going to come in after you and lay more fiber, it's just not worth it
2. Your competitors are going to buy from you but you're still the one earning revenue from the network. In a competitive market your competitors will earn their value-add (marketing) and you'll earn yours (infrastructure + servicing)
3. You'll displace existing infrastructure competitors. Immediately. All that infrastructure Comcast built? useless, no one is going to be buying shitty internet from them anymore. If they want to continue to operate in the market they'll come just another marketing affiliate for you, which is a game that has much lower barriers to entry.
4. They say they won't give you any favorable treatment but they will. This is now a high priority issue that the city explicitly said they'll do. Which means you saving millions on just the legal costs of figuring out if its feasible in this jurisdiction. They won't contradict themselves (too much).
