For your first question Price wise you would be surprised they don't
sell for a great deal more than a 10G. Low end 12k a month high 30k
those are the current going rates for them. The low end would be what
you see between major datacenters. when you get to the higher cost would
be rural and the main driving factor for that now still is just the
actual fiber construction not the equipment.
How to get it depends of course what you are selling them. As it has
been pointed out if you are doing internet that will require a
significant router and then in return large peering and upstream
connections etc. As far as the transport there are several ways to go
about it all depends on distance. Today there really are not too many
vendors that have equipment that will do 100G at any distance above 10k
in a SFP or in 100G CFP/QSFP.
If you are going any distance more than likely be looking at a DWDM
system of some type. The lowest cost could be using a CFP LR10 which is
basically a 10x10G. It will break it out in to 10 10G DWDM channels
that you can put in to a DWDM filter and then to an EDFA amp.
The other option is there are some vendors that make a DWDM capable 100G
transponder. These use modulation like QPSK to get thee 100G over one
DWDM channel. You can get these pretty reasonable if you are looking at
total transport distance less than 300k. Some good vendors are ciena,
Ekinops, RAD/Packetlight. Ciena of course is the priciest
If you need more information feel free to hit me up. I spend most my
days now turning up these types of systems.

The catch is that you can find switches that do 100Gbps sure but then
you still need a router to provide them Internet ;) Currently using
Nexus 7K for this but if I was shopping again I’d use Juniper QFX5200 or
QFX10000 .. we use some QFX5100 today and really like them for
reliability and features (datacenter)
Longest optics I have seen are 40KM, but there may be longer available –
all of our 100Gbps connections are SR and LR so never given it much
thought….

Yeah, was looking at those.
I don’t have anything in that will handle those optics.
I can do QSFP+ 40km optics times two for 80Gbps for fairly cheap.
But one leg is longer than that, though I may be able to break it up
into two segments.
How much is a switch that can handle two 100Gbps ports?

So... Let's just say, for a minute, that I could sell Adobe a
100Gbps line.
What would that be priced at?
I think I can do it technically with a pair of fiber I can get end
to end.
Are their LD optics at 100Gbps yet?
Or are we still talking dense wave multiplexing?
