You could get a China Telecom link in HK as well as many others: sit astride the Great Firewall!
From a cost, operational, and routing perspective, the same would be true if you got a CT link in Los Angeles or San Francisco. Since CT and CNC control all routes between China and everywhere else in the world-- including HK -- and the outsideCN-to-insideCN segment is going to be the most expensive and complicated element of any path between China and anywhere else, the choice of interconnect location with your preferred China-side service provider provider is largely going to be a matter of personal taste/local convenience. Don't get me wrong, I like Hong Kong too -- just trying to make sure that everyone understands the situation clearly... TV
What is the Great Firewall relationship between Hong Kong and the mainland PRC, as compared to the mainland PRC vs. the rest of the world?
