This has sent the price point down to historic levels, O($28K/mo for STM-1) or less than $200/Mbps for transport! This is approaching an attractive price point for long distance peering so, just for grins,... Are there transport providers that can provide a price point around $100/Mbps for transport capacity from Tokyo to the U.S. (LAX/SJO) ?
But, given that peering costs are more than just the circuit cost (once you include Exchange Point costs, and colo, etc), why would anyone do this when you can just buy transit for $100/Mbps or less? I'm going through this at work at the moment, and am having problems justifying staying at the West Coast, having only just justified the East Coast, so going to AP (although it's what I'd want to do), is just way out of the question...
