There is but only for the telecom's telephone wire system, which allows DSL by local loop wholesale.

The cable companies don't have to share their network, and I don't think their network is structured in a way that would make local loop even possible. I don't believe they have a dedicated local loop per customer.

Fiber installations by the telecoms don't either because they are in a competitive market. Also, only Verizon has laid out FTTH.
