Also, what are reliability and redundancy requirements.
10 gigs of bare naked fiber is one thing, but if you need extra paths redundancy, figure that out now and specify.
Is this latency, bandwidth, both? Mission critical, business critical, less priority? 24x7x365, or subset of that, or intermittent only?
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
