Adding to:
The cost of transiting bits beyond CONUS to the Pacific is still
quite significant. TA circuit costs come to mind in comparison. I can
remember it being NOT all too long ago, when a DS1 from HI to CA was
being priced roughly around US$56K/Mo.
For Intra-Asia applications.. Indeed, Hawaii would not be the
appropriate spot. However, when someone considers having to enable a
tie-in to CONUS from certain parts of the Pacific, Hawaii might appear
as a natural choice.
