you have to see if in your erea there is anyone who offers "naked DSL",
that is DSL on the wire without an active dialtone from your telco.

You can get DSL without dialtone in plenty of places in the USA.

As one counterexample, I've been involved in several installations that
involved connecting buildings using pairs of DSL modems over copper wire
purchased from electrical supply shops.

There is already a pair of wires to almost every single home in the land.
What's your point? (it might help if you didn't trim out all context)

Well, to demystify you here it is: with DSL you don't need a
dialtone/landline account IF your area allows it. It is called "naked
DSL" in some areas but depends on the state/province/city you're in
(yeah, I covered US & Canada on that one).
