Peter was saying that SCX charges the same to NZ companies as they charge AU companies, even though one could obviously say there is a much bigger market in AU.
In effect we are paying the (lower) Australian prices for the SCX data.

How are prices high when it costs the same to land data on SCCN NZ-US as it does AU-US and there is 3 cables going into AU?
Sorry I don't get what you're saying here. Probably just me being dense, could you expand?
NZ is a small population with a low wage economy spread across a very mountainous geography that the vast majority of people only use less than 30gb of data....
Thats true, but it changes. At one point it was impossible to imagine that people would even require 1gb/month. You want the speed of capability to keep pace with the speed of demand. The problem is that capability is always slower to accelerate.
Fix those issues and we will all have cheaper internet.
I don't necessarily want cheaper. I want one which matches my expectations more. =) Dean _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
