What are the bit-prices?
Price depends on which specific route. TeleGeography says median prices in the second quarter of 2010 were $10 per megabit per second, per month, in New York and London, but more than $50 per megabit per second, per month, in Sao Paulo. Hong Kong was maybe $30 per megabit per second of capacity, per month.
