I would agree with that. We've had gear with 40-gig ports for many years (>6)? Never found a CDN or transport network 
that would do 40.

Well, or they simply found a potential deal on hardware that came with 40 gig ports. 40 gigs is still a lot of bits to

For internal use, sure. 

But when connecting to another AS, the chances of them supporting 40Gbps in one or more places is inconsistent to slim. 

Exchange points may be an exception.
