I'm not saying bandwidth is free but 15cents per megabyte for National and Internation is a bit steep. Even if it's 100% International it implies a per Megabyte cost of around $48,000 per month (which I hope is more than most people are paying).
Factor in the cost of the Southern Cross Cable --- it's not a clear cut as you may think.
you should find a "double whammy" effect from SX, as it was turned on, a few telco's took liberties and upped their margins, overall prices fell nicely. meanwhile, the smaller guys are now half-way through their payments plans for SX bandwidth, so in 2004, expect another slide in prices... --- Terence C.
