Amazing. I was just looking into WCG when I saw a post in my inbox. A few thoughts on the industry. While there is plenty of dark fiber around, the cost of lighting these are astronomical. I believe it was the Level 3 ceo who recently made the comment that to sustain the current growth rate predictions, the capital investment needed to light up enough fiber is somewhere around 30 to 40 times the current expenditure rate. I'll try to find that link, I've got it saved somewhere.
