Agree that a level of security is required, but the real value is in customers like banks knowing where their fiber is, so when they lease service for a back up provider they know it is not in the same ditch.

Does the bank actually need that information? Or does there need to be a way for the two providers to do conflict detection between their design layout groups? You don't need copies of all provider's fiber maps to do conflict detection for a particular group of circuits.
