How much bandwidth is "a lot of bandwidth"? I see commercial providers with multiple parallel STM-64s plumbed directly into routers either sides of the Atlantic and the Pacific, who are struggling to attract customers to even remotely fill the pipes.
One would think, then, that they would lower pricing until they pipes were filled, on the assumption that any revenue is better than zero revenue. Yet, this doesn't seem to be happening.
I'm no economist, but it seems to me that it's easy to lower prices, but difficult to push them back up again afterwards. So maybe it's not "any revenue is better than zero revenue" -- maybe it's "zero revenue this year is better than marginal revenue for the next N years".
