The copper network is owned by TeliaSonera, the former state telephone monopoly, but they were forced to open that up to competitors so anyone could install DSLAMs in the phone stations, etc. There's competing national fiber networks as well, so no ISP has a stranglehold on the DSL market.

There's no competition and choice for cable though, you have the cable company you have, and that's it.

For GSM networks, there's three separate, and two or three 3G networks, so there's competition there as well.

In a few months my house is gonna be hooked up to the city fiber network, at which point I can choose from another bunch of ISPs.
