[AusNOG] What did Equinix actually do?

[Matthew Moyle-Croft]

SCCN historically has been a landing station to landing station cable.
They're evolving to be POP-to-POP cable so Equinix Sydney, for example, is
a location where you can order directly from them without having to get
backhaul.  This is good because it's usually cheaper, less complex and less
fraught with issues with connecting terrestrial to wet.  Historically you
had to go to Alexandria (not far from SY1/3) or Brookvale (a long way).
