No, the primary cost (other than laying the fiber) is in the electronics to 
route the packets around once they leave the optics, and the upstream bandwith 
and peering to other ISPs.

laying the fiber is expensive, optics are trivially cheap in comparison, but 
while the theoretical bandwidth of the fiber is huge, that's only for the one 
hop, once you get past that hop and have to deal with the aggregate bandwidth of 
multiple endpoints, something has to give.
