Our numbers deal with deployed Internet capacity -- router-to-router IP links that carry public Internet traffic. Internet capacity is carved out of raw bandwidth, the stuff they light submarine cables with. The Southern Cross Cable Network is scheduled to hit 240 Gbps of raw capacity as of early 2002, and Southern Cross connected to New Zealand (but not only New Zealand). So I'm going to assume you're talking about Southern Cross.
The point: raw bandwidth is not Internet bandwidth; Internet bandwidth is always a subset of raw bandwidth. As noted, the total trans-oceanic capacities we saw suggested that there is usually a 10:1 relationship, but more research is required to come up with a definitive answer.
...on our faces. We're doing a bit better now, and will be doing a lot better in a day or two. The ups and downs of slashdot honours, I guess. Feel free to e-mail.

It sounds like you're mixing up network layers.

The International Journal of Communications Law and Policy has been around for a while. It focuses on Internet and other media topics, so I guess you could disqualify it for being too broad-minded, but still ...
