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.
