What is stopping compatition

There is a massive shift in telecom to fiber (like fios) and high bandwidth hybrid fiber/coax systems (like cable). What is stopping some of the clecs from putting in fiber in areas that do not have existing fiber plants and beating the Incumbents to the punch?

Probably $$$ first, and access to rights of way second. Verizon's build-out of the FIOS plant is costing Billions - yes thats with a capital "B", and they already own/maintain rights of way. And even so, the stockholders weren't too thrilled about the massive investment as it hits the bottom line pretty hard in the short term. Longer term - its probably a good move.
