Hello Chris: -----Original Message----- From: cisco-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net [mailto:cisco-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net] On Behalf Of ch...@lavin-llc.com Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2009 11:28 AM To: cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: [c-nsp] OT - Dark Fiber
I was curious to know if there are different ways to go about purchasing dark fiber. If you have Site A and Site B only a few miles apart and you're happy to provide the light, how do you get the fiber? Not expecting to obtain right-of-way/permits/ditch digger. Do you lease (meaning paying a MRC) or is it 'purchased' (meaning a NRC)? Thanks, -chris -------------------- You could do a couple of things: 1) If there aren't any providers between buildings you could look for existing conduit or pole rights if you have above-ground electrical service. 2) If there are dark fiber providers: - You could get a standard NRC/MRC deal (as someone said already) - You could get a long-term IRU (Indefensible Right of Use) where you pay a lot up front but very little MRC and you have sole use of the fibers for a period of years.
