..."The great thing about Qwest's
expansion of its network is the way it finances the build-outs.
Qwest finds customers who need more telecom capacity, such as
interexchange carriers like Frontier Communications, and has
them put up a bunch of cash. The fiber that Qwest then provides
in return for the cash is "dark," meaning that any operating
costs beyond that the customer must share. The biggest expense
in laying fiber, by far, is digging the cross-country conduits. By
providing telco customers with this service and then plowing
that cash back into laying its own fiber in the same conduits,
Qwest has a great financing source and creates economies of
scale because the marginal cost for each fiber installed decreases
by a good amount."
