Not really - with the way the fibre is meant to run, circuit provisioning and management will be handled by the telco(s), but IP provisioning will be done by the ISP's trying to connect at either end. This is how SAT-3 works down south. Telkom SA manages the circuit, but IP service is not handled by them. Unless the only way to go onto fibre is to also get IP services from local telcos, which in my books, is not worth the switch. Mark.
