This is what for example us happening in Sweden all over the place. Most well known project in Sweden is the City of Stockholm where STOKAB is providing dark fiber (as a product) and nothing more.

In a similar way many villages and individual home owners dig down their own fiber.

I am sure it happens in other parts of the world as well.
