Money will ALWAYS be able to buy fiber. Heck, Jay can plow it for us if the $'s get high enough. My point just was that I don't think someone will give us fiber between sites, a system to support said fiber channels, and the rack/space/etc. I welcome someone if they want to do so...we are not married to one site, just looking at the honest facts.

I can't agree with this.
I would change it to: Dark fiber in MSP isn't plentiful in an affordable fashion.
Cause that's the issue. When Zayo wants $5K to run from 2nd Ave S and 4 St to 511 you know something is up and it ain't the fiber.
(this is directly a quote from Zayo for a single pair even though AFS was across the aisle and of the <billion> fibers there almost nothing was lit on the panel that I could see)
