How Amsterdam was wired for open access fiber

So when you go out at night it's common to see work crews building new infrastructure by lifting up the bricks and piling them to one side, digging up the sand and working on pipes and conduits, followed by replacement of the sand and the bricks. By 7am or so they have gone, the street looks exactly the same as it did the day before, and the next night they return and do it all over again farther up the street. They make relatively little noise, traffic is largely undisturbed, and the construction crews operate with military-like discipline.

Not a very portable solution, but one that infrastructure planners might do well to consider for long-term development. Very practical people, the Dutch.
