"Australia is the most expensive region in which we operate, but for an 
interesting reason. We peer with virtually every ISP in the region except 
one: Telstra. Telstra, which controls approximately 50% of the market, and 
was traditionally the monopoly telecom provider, charges some of the 
highest transit pricing in the world — 20x the benchmark ($200/Mbps)."

Not quite news, but it's still interesting to see the relative numbers.
