Was anyone truly surprised C&W failed in the US marketplace? They seem only able to make money when they're the government-sanctioned monopoly. It'll be interesting to see if they can handle competition in India any better than they did in the US.
Last march I did a long interview with Farooq Hussain about the economics of peering and Cable and Wireless's role in the collapse of the tier one peering proposition. Farooq was absolutely scathing in his indictment of Cable and Wireless' arrogant behavior. Apparently, they (C&W) learned nothing and are now waltzing into an indian partnership where the indian partners don't know anymore.
