Hi all -

I'm working on an update to my research paper on Asia Pacific Peering
Guidebook. This current version of the white paper (v1.8) is freely
available (send me an email and I'll gladly send you a copy) ; it
focuses on what Peering Coordinators have found interesting,
different, counter-intuitive when they built into and throughout Asia.

I was hoping I could check a couple data points with folks on this
list regarding peering and transit in Australia.  Specifically - what
is the going price for transit if you commit to
1Mbps  $1000/Mbps USD?
2Mbps  $1000/Mbps USD?
10Mbps $500/Mbps USD?
100Mbps $400/Mbps USD?
1000Mbps $200/Mbps USD?

The prices above were from a rough survey done in 2004. Curious to
hear if these prices are still about right. The assumptions are that
these are not bottom feeder ISP prices, but reputable ISP with a NOC,
helpdesk that answers the phone, etc. Tier 1 ISP type pricing. We are
talking about prices not necesarily in the CBD but certainly not in
the middle of the desert. Rough numbers are sufficient to plug into
the business case for peering and for comparison across Peering
Ecosystems.

The other question is, What do local loops go for roughly these days?
I currently have in 2004 a 100M fastE loop into an IX priced at
$2500/month, and
a 1000M gigE loop into an IX priced at $7500/month.

Do these sound about right in 2005?

Thanks!

Bill
