  You mean New Zealand, right?

    New Zealand is rather isolated geographically, it's expensive to build infrastructure on the periphery of the network. This is true for the South Pacific islands in general. This is a snapshot of the current undersea infrastructure in the Australia-New Zealand area: http://i.imgur.com/K1t4y.png http://i.imgur.com/K1t4y.png

      Right. And the expense is(/was?) typically picked up by the isolated edge node rather than shared between the two end points. ie: There's a lot more value to New Zealand in connecting to the rest of the internet, than for the internet to connect to New Zealand.
