And are you looking for "dark fiber" or can you deal with a lambda? Can you supply tuned optics for the passive mux carriers? Dark coast-to-coast is going to cost you a few appendages. You may land a lambda for a reasonable price depending on the endpoints, you'll need an established carrier with DWDM gear on both ends. Jeff
