Excelcomindo's New Cable : SJJK

I don't have so much information about this issue except a few things below. If I look at the statistics of my blog, I know that some of you might eventually have more information than I :-D . So why don't you share some "public domain" information ? (okay, the magic word - please!)

Exploring BiZNET

BGP could (sometimes) be very interesting! Agree ? Disagree ? :-D Well, okay, at least for some people, communities (Opisboy-ers, heh ?? :-D )

I'm currently not a BGP expert, but it's quite fun to to see what we can do with it. So here I just want to share a case I've dealed with yesterday : BiZNET (yes, PT. Supra ...). If you do expertise in BGP, please advise ! :-D

It seems that BiZNET buys some transit capacities from pak Meneer :-D (AS4657, by the way how many ASNs does REACH currently have??). But it's quite odd, that I failed to see direct connections between BiZNET and REACH. Could it happen that these are tunneled via third parties (say, AS4761 or AS7473) ??

Asia America Gateway AAG (3)

Finally, AAG has a website! You may check http://asia-america-gateway.com !

But don't expect too much for now :-D It's almost similar to the TPE website, which is mainly intended for the members of the consortium. There is also no NEW information either. The website is maintained by PLDT and hosted at INFOCOM Technologies (Philippines).

"The birth of the AAG will revolutionize high bandwidth delivery between Asia and the USA. Designed for broadband traffic, it will provide much-needed diversity in traditional routes to the US and ensure alternate routes, expanded capacity and high levels of service during potential disasters. The AAG Cable System is expected to carry commercial traffic by first quarter of 2009."

India's Cables : Another View

The table and picture below show another view of cables coming to/from India. It seems that the Indian government has set three locations for cable landing stations i.e. Mumbai, Cochin, Chennai.

Malaysia's International Bandwidth

Couple days ago Telegeography has reported that "TM (Telekom Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.) set to increase backbone internet capacity". By quoting COO of TM Global (a subsidiary of TM) Rozaimy Rahman, it was said that till the end of this year TM will have 100 Gbps capacity. This will further be increased by 30% to 130 Gbps in 2009 to accomodate demand for online services.
