[AusNOG] Amazon: And the winner is (not) Sydney

[James Troy]

I was under the impression that there was a google cache server in the PPC1 australian landing point. Perhaps I could be wrong, that was just the impression that i have had for a long time.

The back-of-envelope cost/benefit analysis says "a very long time".
Think of the number of users in Tokyo, or within peering range of
Tokyo.  Now consider, for example, how long it took Google to install
just some cache machines in Australia.  Either of those companies will
probably have a datacentre on the moon before they install one in
Australia.  As Vijay said, you don't click on ads, do you?  :-)

When someone makes me eat my words, please serve them with moon-cake.
