[1st-mile-nm] Norwegian ISP: dig your own fiber trench, save $400 - Ars Technica

[Steve Ross]

There's a lot of this, all over Scandinavia. We've done 
stories on it out of Sweden and Denmark as well, and there 
is at least one example in the Netherlands.

People used to build their own phone networks in the US. 
Pretty much every history of a telephone cooperative here 
describes how the farmers laid or strung the first wires.
