The cost of putting fiber is fixed and now days paid thanks to all the chapter 11 we had after the dot com crash. So every time say L3 want add more usage all they have to do is lit more fiber or replace the optics (start location, end location and every 40km or 160km telco huts) and they go from 10gb to 40gb to 160gb, you get the idea.
