GSL offers both IPL and POP accesses, and participates local-exchange
within country/reginal POPs. US-centric model is juct matter of economy
and tariff between countries. If someone is willing to pay more to run a DS-3
from Taiwan to Japan instead, I am sure there is no reason for GSL to reject 
the order.
