The obvious answer here is... "It Depends"
If you search on Dark Fiber, you will get a number of answers.
Dark fiber refers to unused fiber-optic cable. Often times companies lay
more lines than what's needed in order to curb costs of having to do it
again and again. The dark strands can be leased to individuals or other
companies who want to establish optical connections among their own
locations.
In this case, the fiber is neither controlled by nor connected to the owning
company. Instead, the leasing company or individual provides the necessary
components to make it functional.
Please let this thread die... The last 20 posts have done nothing to further
the knowledge gained, only repeat the explanations over and over and
ultimately waste bandwidth.

Dark fiber is fiber that is not being used. ie, no light is passed through
it, hence the term "dark"
