I believe that if high speed internet is available, the national traffic will be the most important.
Ok, why?
National traffic is important because both now and in the future, important and popular content will be hosted in Auckland and not Bluff. National traffic may not have the highest bandwidth consumption traffic compared to Aucklands and Wellington's local traffic - but it is important that everyone, irrespective of location gets the same access to the same data at the same speed - or we will end up with our own local 'digital divide'. Should a Wellington child have a better education because their school has access to a faster internet connection than a Bluff child.
A major factor why 80% of calls are local is that 80% of calls are free.
I doubt that's correct.
I'm probably wrong - however may I suggest that the majority of video data in New Zealand (television) is already piped via a national backbone and is free.
