There is a company in Norway (maybe the one you are talking about
working over the borders) called "the Broadband Fabric". They, AFAIK,
deliver broadband internet to blocks of flats, and everywhere else where
they deem it cost-effective to put down a high-speed cable. 

I must say, I hardly see anyone bragging of ISDN her in this country,
although I don't think I know anyone back home that doesn't have it. I
think Norway/Sweden are a bit more on the edge communicatively. Or so it
seems to me at least. YMMV.

Stig
