|Given the enormous scope of the question, the US west coast almost |sounds like an effective common denominator *regardless* of the |state of interconnection within the region, or the history of |US-centric traffic demand and under-sea cable routes. PAIX alone can supply 10-15k of AP routes, coupled with AP routes from ABOV and others, that would be most it. No matter where you are located in AP, its going to be a long and difficult build to get a similar level of routes from within the region. Now if you coming from Europe it would make even less sense. -- James
