Your point above - is 'precisely' one, to which I had eluded to

Indeed.. DEPENDING on which part of the Pacific, Hawaii and
Guam have significant roles.

I am not sure if this CONVERGENCE of capacity as you indicate
is really that much of a concern with respect to the placement of an
exchange point -- at this moment in time. Being that capacity through
these parts, is no longer a problem. Capacity - has NOT been a variable
in this respect, for some short while.
Adopted/Deployed pricing models on the other hand, still
actively represent the problem area. Although, I must clarify that I am
NOT implying that this is the only problem area.... :)
