Don't do it the Aus way!
The Australian government set up a new government entity to do just this. The incumbent Telcos, Telstra & Optus, had to "sell" their cable network to the National Broadband Network (NBN) Co. to fibre up. Its been a disaster.
Perfectly good POTS and ADSL turned off area by area, customers forced to higher cost lower performance internet packages from retailers forced to buy wholesale service, from NBN Co., at prices unreasonably structured causing retailers to not provide adequate thu-put capacity to their customers - so busy period slowdowns.. Phones delivered by VoIP requiring households to maintain battery support units. The original fibre to the home promise now includes a mixture of, lower performing, fibre to the basement/street satellite or direct radio.
Third party players banned from installing their own infrastructure to avoid competition to NBN Co.
Hideously over budget and behind time and many report under performing, unless you buy the top range packages and are one of the lucky ones with fibre to the home.
Plenty of info on line to research.
