Nope - I think lack of population and what I'm calling CDN Gravity is more of the issue. I don't think that NZ has the population or demand to pull the content here.

Pacific Fibre not building the spur to AUS. That I'm more concerned about. That's where I think we'll be getting 90% of our content within the next few years anyway.

I think there are several issues here that people have independently identified and then some - here is what I am seeing based on comments (in no particular order)

1) Lack of true 'public' Data centre Space in NZ

I predict the actions Chorus are intending to take in opening up their exchanges in UFB areas (or possibly wider), will start to turn that around. Jay

2) Fibre Diversity (see 1) 3) Content pushers not locating in NZ (CDN Gravity) 4) Cost rubic of National/Tasman/International transit favouring ports in AU data centres vs National (see 1,2,3) 5) Latency and other technical errata. 6) Market diversity ( or lack thereof) for NZ exiting fibre 7) That old chestnut; national peering 8) Cost of national transit (see 4,7,6)

any I have missed? _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
