In practice that means that a company would be able to set up and run its own services, competing with other operators – as for example happens already on the Italian high speed lines where the state operator Ferrovia della Statto and new comer NTV both run services between Naples, Rome and Milan.
Näiteks selline olukord on juba tekkinud Itaalia kiirraudteeliinidel, kus riiklik ettevõtja Ferrovia della Statto ja uustulnuk NTV mõlemad osutavad teenuseid Napoli, Rooma ja Milano vahelistel liinidel.
