[AusNOG] Singapore Perth International Backhaul Providers

[Paul Brooks]

(Resend - wrong source email not subscribed to list)
Notice-up-front: I'm working with the Trident team.
We are currently expecting to start construction in July/August time frame which
indicates RFS lights flashing around December 2015 next year.

Can't help with SWM3 capacity in the short term, but looking forward to helping out
with longer term requirements to Singspore.

Paul (just off flight from Perth).

Vocus (where I work) is a provider of significant SMW3 capacity and would be happy to
chat to you about pricing, and yes its definitely more than bandwidth to the US.

Unfortunately I am not sure that ‘happening’ is the right word, I think perhaps
‘proposed’ is better. Unless of course there has been an update and someone has
actually committed to build?

Not yet a go as far as I know, although rumours I am hearing has them as the current
front runner.

Again I believe it is still pending someone pushing the big green go button - although
you would be crazy to underestimate Bevan and Carlos. 

I think potentially both cables are in trouble as they don’t have a number in their
name. SMW3, PPC-1 etc (not wanting to be a doomsayer but this could be the fatal flaw
they have overlooked)

Lastly don’t forget about Trident they seem to be the dark horse and are pursuing a
more resource sector focused plan that the other two.

I certainly can’t wait until someone green lights their cable as the demand for
connectivity to SG is growing and SMW3 capacity looks like it will be in short supply
soon.

Cheers,
Matt Hollis
