There is plenty of opportunity to renegotiate contracts, since capacity is exploding with 400Gbit going over a single wavelength. It used to be amazing to hit 1 Tb/s with a piece of core network equipment and now it is routine... whether tjat and many other changes is enough to save 1B per year, I don't know.
