Thus far in speaking with carriers it seems many if not most of them do not want to bother breaking into / breaking out unused dark fiber on their routes and only seem to know of their own routes but not the routes of others. Wheonsultingre can I find maps and such of where dark fiber exists, and who to negotiate with for it's use. I'm looking at / for both long haul routes that would give access into major NAPs & MAEs but also fiber laid around various (rural) towns and for instance between various tandems.<br>
