I believe Australia IX had launched there's yesterday as well.

The port costs of Megaport are extremely low... I am regularly surprised how misunderstood they are since they are so simple.

A $500 basic port charge for 10Gb access and free IX over it is a dream price.  The costs of VxC's are only $200 inter-dc which are speed agnostic.  The fact you can do this for 1 day for $20 is astounding.

Also, if you are a supplier, and people are initiating the connection to you, you pay nothing for this.

This cost structure seems to be very economical to me.  Not only that, once there are other VxC players - which I believe NextGen is launching soon, and perhaps others, there will be an interesting amount of options out there.

It's the age old capacity planning and yield management question.  How do I extract the best return on capital from my fixed infrastructure investment.  Purchasing smaller amounts of fixed capacity via Megaport is a good idea, but you'll need to weigh that up versus the Megaport port charges and higher 'spot pricing'.

This kind of model upons up the idea of treating network as tradeable commodities leading to arbitrate opportunities etc.  Very interesting stuff.  The future will be exciting.

Good video Skeeve.

Expanding your rationale, instead of purchasing overhead in transit speed, wouldn’t it be more efficient to source transit over megaport (or other??) and pay per hour/day/month/whatever. Potentially even grabbing upstream from a ‘transit broker’ (I don’t even know if they exist?) that is a clearing house for current unused upsteam? Similar to spot reserve in EC2 I’d imagine

Sure have dedicated upstream for known traffic patterns but ‘burst’ out for anything else.

Couple it with a decent API and an underlying programmable network and I think it could be decent

Hey all,

This is a follow-up video relating to the current state of the transit space discussion recently.  I thought I would get some thoughts out of my head as a lot of people ask me about transit and I thought others might find it useful.

This video isn't meant to stir up people, but I am sure it may, especially those selling transit in a certain way.  This video is more about educating people about the value of transit in certain kinds of ways.  It is about 14 mins long, but I'd like to know what you thought if you have time to watch it.
