Yes it is already changing. But as far as I can see, Global SprintLink represents the old US-centric model: GSL is the international arm of SprintLink and essentially sells bandwidth into the States. C&W is setting itself up as a global backbone provider.GSL offers both IPL and POP accesses, and participates local-exchange within country/reginal POPs. US-centric model is juct matter of economy and tariff between countries. If someone is willing to pay more to run a DS-3 from Taiwan to Japan instead, I am sure there is no reason for GSL to reject the order.
The point is that GSL's peering policies are radically different from those of SprintLink, whereas Cable & Wireless seems to have the same policies worldwide. Similarly, I know that GSL's prices for transit used to be much higher than SprintLink's and I suppose still are. -- Jim Dixon VBCnet GB Ltd +44 117 929 1316 fax +44 117 927 2015 http://www.uk.vbc.net VBCnet West +1 408 971 2682 fax +1 408 971 2684 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
