[AusNOG] Server BW limits

[Zone Networks - Joel]

Don't get me wrong, I fully understand the size of our country and the cost
involved in building the infrastructure. J

 

And I don't expect us to be as cheap as USA/EU, hopefully we never are, but
if $40B is going to be spent than one would expect they to be some change in
the market for the better.

According to the financial statements of Australia's biggest carrier,
selling transit at cost would be around a 1/3rd of the price it is at the
moment.
That's a long long way from any sort of pricing parity with the EU or US. 

If I dig up the ground and installed a fibre ring between Sydney, Melbourne
and Brisbane my potential market is a mere 10th of that of a similar sized
link within the US.
The European market is twice the size of the US which explains somewhat
explains the pricing difference there.

I cant see how the gang of 4 will allow transit price to fall domestically
for it to even come close to US pricing, EU pricing is even cheaper than US

 

Yes I agree the transit pricing has fallen in the past 2-3 years, but to my
"limited" knowledge it was due to competition for international links that
saw price reduction on southern cross

 

Can someone "pls explain" how we can see domestic transit price falling even
with the help of NBN  ?
