Answer 1

Yes.

You can pay for a link, through the phone company, of install your own dark fibre, paying the city and utility costs, connecting your house to the nearest peering point. Then you can buy a cvrrier class router ($150K) to install at the peering point. You may need to pay peers for traffic, unless you connect a sizeable number of users.

This is what ISPs and community broadband companies do.
