It used to, but not so much now. The access tail price is still dominated by Telstra's macinations, but national SDH capacity is relatively competitive these days, and Telstra are almost completely uninvolved in transpacific pricing. Transpacific pricing is more driven by the duopoly effects of AJC and Southern Cross. Will be interesting to see how PPC-1 shakes the market up next year. We're looking forward to it. - mark -- Mark Newton Email: [email protected] (W) Network Engineer Email: [email protected] (H) Internode Systems Pty Ltd Desk: +61-8-82282999 "Network Man" - Anagram of "Mark Newton" Mobile: +61-416-202-223
