Bullpucky with regards to 10G optics cost. (1G we can agree on)
You can do SPF+ 10G LRM for 220M of shiny-light goodness for 280 bucks.=20
LR is nearly 4 times that much.=20
We find that 220 gets us to most places in the building.=20
Jeff- As far as fiber goes we spec sumitomo or corning and try to stick
to LRM optics when we can.=20

Pull a hybrid MM/SM cable. For the life expectancy of most fiber=20
installs, you'll want the SM to run 10G now, and 40G, 100G, ?? in the=20
future over the same infrastructure. SM optics aren't really that=20
much more expensive anymore.
