I vaguely remember Verizon, a US telecom provider, suing the city of Philly or Baltimore for providing low cost broadband to slum areas. Verizon sued them for cutting them out of potential business by doing so. The Vattenfall case is the first similar case I've heard of in Europe, but potentially it's a very nasty slippery slope.
