Re: Chicago-Seattle Dark fiber *does* lower prices.
If you're AboveNet or someone similar and can buy dark, then light it up with a few 10G waves for equipment costs (vs. actually having to build the fiber) there's now another player in the area, increasing competition and lowering cost per bit. Since Allied will be laying high-count fibers this will be compounded...would be interesting if providers like Hurricane Electric and PacketExchange picked up on this and started delivering their high bandwidth services to areas that traditionally haven't had said service. |
