that fiber you need LOTS and LOTS of power-hungry, space-occupying equipment. In other words, you'd need to duplicate a significant fraction of the current public transport network.
With all due respect, you think Ft. Meade uses the same COTS crap as you are forced to deal with? Bwah hah hah. Gilmore et al used a bunch of old Sun Chassis for his & Kocher's DEScracker. You think this is somehow more than 100 watts, in a diplo suitcase, nowadays? Just curious as to the depth of navite in the field....

Sorry Major, I'm gonna have to call you on that one. Yes, they are lighting that fiber on COTS. Likely on Nortel gear, which I can tell you from personal experience requires an incredible amount of power, cooling, and rackspace.

Totally different animal. We are talking about lighting single mode fiber and doing so for long distances: likely to standard 60-per-hop rule. You can't send light out that kind of distances without BIG power inputs: lasers are not very efficient.
