Primetrica has just released their sample database with regard to long distance bandwidth pricing. The price spans from Europe - Africa connection at the most expensive side and Transatlantic (Europe - North America) at the cheapest. How about Asia ? Transpacific connections (case Hong Kong - LA) cost around 6 to 7 times higher than those for Transatlantic. Connections from Japan should be cheaper, but Europe - Asia connections might cost close to the figure for Europe - Africa. Note, that Primetrica has used their sample database for Q4/2008. Any comments on this ?

How much bandwidth does USD15,000 a month buy?
Data from TeleGeography’s Wholesale Bandwidth Pricing Database reveal that stark price differences persist around the globe. For example, the median price of a 2Mbps E-1 circuit between London and Johannesburg in Q4 2008 was nearly USD15,000. For the same price, a bandwidth buyer could lease a 10Gbps wavelength—500 times the capacity of an E-1—between London and New York.
