And are you looking for "dark fiber" or can you deal with a lambda?  Can
you supply tuned optics for the passive mux carriers?

Dark coast-to-coast is going to cost you a few appendages.  You may land
a lambda for a reasonable price depending on the endpoints, you'll need
an established carrier with DWDM gear on both ends.
