1:1 figure for people age 18 - 60. Add these indicators to the fact that most of the Internet market dominating companies are the old PTTs. All these PTT (control freaks) are now Telcos (out to maximize share holder profit). All of them took a lot of hard knocks in the early years, learned from their mistakes, and now know where their markets are now going. So instead of dealing with clueless Asian PTTs in 1995 you are dealing with really clueful IP savvy Telcos in 2002. IP savvy Telcos who are members of the trans-oceanic cable businesses and are the ones buying up the excess capacity built by the failed "independent" trans-oceanic cable businesses.
And speaking of control.. don't expect those PTTs to give up control (i.e. peering) in their home markets easily. -dorian
