Yeah I found that too Simon, in pricing up an STM1 London to NY not so long ago I found the cost of the two tails from the landing sites to be more than the actual transatlantic leg! Maybe fiber prices are low, so the cost of dropping a cable in water is low but the cost of labour etc to dig across a city remains high. Steve On Tue, 29 May 2001, Simon Lockhart wrote:
Trans-oceanic capabilities will remain a bottleneck, but they are not as problematic as in the previous decade. Witness Tyco or any of the other folk that have cable-laying capability. Last year they had waiting lines for boats. Now the boats are idle. Too much capacity in water and no-one taking it up. (see first point above)Transatlantic bandwidth is becoming surprisingly cheap. It's now 50% cheaper to get from New York to London than it is to get from New York to San Jose. Simon
