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.
