No, no, no.....
Volhout, you are mis-interpreting.
The village is classified as a "Private Network" here in NZ.
Basically, the Chorus network STOPS at the village demarcation point - the point where Chorus(the network company) drops off the phone connections.
Anything PAST that point, is private network, and 100% owned by the village. We used the same cables that Chorus would have used, for the village infrastructure, but the village is a TOTALLY unique and fully isolated part of the old copper network.
We can do ANYTHING we like with those old cables, as the village OWNS them, and those cable runs have NOTHING to do with the official network. Once isolated at the village demarc, those cables are totally and utterly under the sole control of the village, and have ZERO to do with ANY telecommunications company.
No need to access any exchange, those underground cables belong to the village, and therefore, the village can do whatever it likes with them - once they no longer have any telephone services running over them.
