Actually, bitstream, just like local look unbundling are terms used (for example in the EU) and I think if they are confusing they then should be explained (not replaced by other terms).

See for example:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit-stream_access>

And COM(2007) 401 final:

Bitstream access enables new entrants to provide retail broadband access services to end users. It is therefore an important step for new entrants towards investment in a more comprehensive roll out of their own network, leading towards local loop unbundling. After a certain time, competitors tend to rely on a combination of both forms of access, investing in their own infrastructure up to the incumbent's local loop where economically possible, i.e. normally in more densely populated regions, whereas they depend on bitstream access in rural areas.

Etc...

I have updated the text to what I think makes sense and hopefully it is possible to understand.
