I think the question is more like why am I being quoted $100 A megabit in India for transit in India? Not why am I being charged for for the transport cost across the pacific.

Obviously I can't speak for the providers in question, but I'd guess that the cost for transit in AP is strongly related to the cost of long-haul transport. Once upon a time, the majority of Internet traffic in AP countries *did* originate in the US. Does anybody have data that this is changing? Cheers, -Benson
