This is not at all uncommon on Sweden. Rural communities come together and organize fiber buildouts in their own local areas. Average cost is around $2000 per connection. The biggest problem is generating enough interest to make a build out economically viable.
We've been working on this for two years where I live and the digging will finally begin in august, 180km of fiber to ~600 homes.
- bjelkeman-again 12y agoGood work. I live a bit more urban, but our local council (kommun), i.e. the tax payers, owns the local network and we have eleven companies providing different type of services (IP, cable TV, VoIP etc) on the fibre. We have about half of the houses (6000 of 12000) and essentially all the apartments connected. Getting my house connected by fibre was one of the best things I have ever done. Ran a startup from the basement for a while.
