[ELI5] why can't a people in the USA just get together and run their own Google Fibre?

I guess I'm asking why can't a town/HOA get together and just run fibre out to a backbone node? I see they did it in the UK. 

[edit] How can someone get from the house to the backbone? Is there just a giant cable running somewhere where you can just jab an end of my cable into?

One town tried because their ISP provider (Time Warner) was giving them shit service. This resulted in Time Warner suing the toe for "setting up an unfair market where other providers could not compete".

Edit: Meant town, but toe is funny.
