   Well, with fibre you would not need routers nor power for repeaters.   
      
   In fact, assuming that you don't really need high speed on those lines,   
   you could just use a plain telephone line (2 wires) and transmit with a   
   method similar to ADSL. You might achieve perhaps 10 Mbps, maybe 30, at   
   distances of a mile, perhaps 5.   
      
   But I don't know how to achieve that, I've never needed to investigate.
