is very pricey, even after 60% discounts. Laying the fiber and getting right-away rights is the huge hurdle though and takes big bucks. That's why a lot of the main routes are shared by a number of providers. Got to watch one of the rigs that "shoots" the new fiber down through conduit, pretty cool.
I couldn't imagine them using anything other than multi-mode fiber but clarification would be nice. I'm sure the big transport manufacturers are all over it though :)
