So not deploying NAT would somehow magically cause a second broadband
provider to unroll a fiber optic cable to my house?

There was no competition in broadband in my city until Verizon unrolled
FiOS just over a year ago and so your economic theory fails completely as
far as I am concerned. For competition to change behavior there has to be
an open market and the US Internet market has very little of that.
