Gotten a quote for a 1Gbe or 10Gbe between two cities in India recently?That could be useful. Sadly, I have no first-hand knowledge of these costs. How does in-country transport compare to trans-Pacific transport cost? (i.e. on a per Mbps per kilometer or similar metric) I assume it's cheaper in-country / in-region compared to trans-oceanic. Is this true?
This is not an assumption you can make safely depending on the country and specific sub-region you are talking about. If you go back to mid 90s, the situation was much the same in Europe, which was why US East coast was the default location for IP traffic exchange for Europe until the costs started to change. -dorian
