Hi Martin, That statement is true in the long run. But not the short run.
No would argue that current TransAtlantic pricing could justify a new cable system. :) If you look at the last three TransAtlantic builds, they spanned from $600 million to $980 million. No backhaul included. Current market pricing could never justify another system or for that matter doing a true terrestrial build (trenching and creating a conduit system). Everything has been based on recycled assets to this point. Regards, Roderick S.
