But if the overseas pipes are the bottleneck, improved local infrastructure would mean more are fighting to use them.

- te_chris 15y agoYes but if there's internal fibre inside the country and it's comprehensive then the scope for more effective usage of local caches and CDN's, not to mention outright locally hosted content becomes pretty damn strong.
- mambodog 15y agoThis is not the case. barrkel's statement is outdated and inaccurate. "Each of the four networks that will be providing the bulk of international connections for Australia is capable of carrying at least a terabit per second of data. The total international capacity in use for the Australian market in 2009 is estimated to be around 300 gigabits per second. Accordingly, total capacity usage could double, then double again, then double again, and then double yet again before the capabilities of those networks was exhausted. It would therefore be difficult to say that international networks are a capacity bottleneck in the Australian market."[1] Another cable link currently under construction will double Australia's current capacity.
