It's more expensive to install and operate a fiber in an ocean than along the railway-tracks. Regardless of tariffs, 4000 miles of transatlantic OC-48 is more expensive than 4000 miles of land-line OC-48. So, if both sides agrees on the 'benefit ratio' add the costs and divide the sum according to the ratio. -Peter (Sorry to repeat myself..) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
