In the Netherlands, every house is hooked to the natural gas network. I've heard rumours about them guys testing literally blowing fiber into your house through the gas pipes (hook fiber to a shuttle, let it loose - gas pressure does the rest). Never heard how they're gonna do the steering on junctions, though...
That's not too difficult. There have small Robots for i.e. investigating Tubes with a Camera, sealing Leaks,etc. The smallest Tube Diameter they can reach with a Camera is 2,5 inch, given that there are no Curves. regards Thorsten
