If you don't believe me then go and ask an NZ or AUS carrier what the price of an STM-64 is (yes it's a trick question on so many levels).
Well, while the answer is right now: POA, I'd like to think it could be price book quite soon. Oh, you want *INTERNATIONAL* capacity? That's outside New Zealand, right? Ah, we might have to charge you a little more. We have the fibre, in NZ. We have the architecture. We have the boxes. We don't have the STM-64 interfaces, but we COULD have---they are just a mite pricey at the moment. They will get cheaper fairly soon. There are some cool things that can be done with multiple Gb within NZ, but to reach outside at that rate costs huge dollars. Which is why *we* don't run flat-rate cable Dean, you CHSD you :-) BTW, is Southern Cross currently specced at 10Gb?
