Zayo said that, so far, it has a low-latency route via Lyon that is fully operational on dark fiber/100G, and it has a second dark fiber route traverses western France via Bordeaux. Finally, the company said it is developing a third route which connects to Strasbourg via Milan and onto Paris, Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam and other European markets. The company did not say how much it is investing in the expansion.
