[NNagain] The non-death of DSL

I have a lot to unpack from this:

https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-397257A1.pdf

the first two on my mind from 2005 are: "FCC adopted its first open
internet policy" and "Competitiveness"  As best as I recall, (and
please correct me), this led essentially to the departure of all the
3rd party DSL providers from the field. I had found something
referencing this interpretation that I cannot find right now, but I do
clearly remember all the DSL services you could buy from in the early
00s, and how few you can  buy from now. Obviously there are many other
possible root causes.

DSL continued to get better and evolve, but it definately suffers from
many reports of degraded copper quality, but does an estimate exist
for how much working DSL is left?

Q0) How much DSL is in the EU?
Q1) How much DSL is left in the USA?
Q2) What form is it? (VDSL, etc?)

Did competition in DSL vanish because of or not of an FCC related order?
