Sure - we do IPoDWDM ourselves (except in a very few locations where 
crappy equipment necessitates a transponder). I'm not just sure I'd use 
the word "optic" or any variant and "free" in the same sentence to 
describe such a network ;o)

Anyway, OT for v6ops. I'm intrigued by a couple of points in the 
article; need to read the other thread responses.
