The engineering is not complicated, but it involves fights for right of way and obstructionist land owners and municipalities who will fight against it.

This is what's happening in Mountain View, home of Google. We don't have Google Fiber because of local obstructionism.

Agreed. I was being facetious by suggesting the engineering was complicated.

And by "entrenched players", I meant anyone that has a horse in the race, not just ISPs.
