I was recently at BornHack2018, a small security camp for the 3rd summer this year held on the island of Bornholm.

The organisers also run BornFiber who are connecting the entire island with optical broadband.

BornFiber is a good example of how anyone with the right skill can start a fiber provider here in the nordics.

I'm glad to see this philosophy being adopted by the US.

However. Once they have fiber they still need some ISP and that's where the national ISPs come in. Thankfully we have plenty of options here but I hear things aren't as good in the US.

If only they were on the other side of Denmark. I wanted to bring some fiber to a small German island called Insel Fohr.
So what's stopping you? :)

Just get some neighbors together and go for it.
