Hi Robert,

Thank you for the insights provided by the spreadsheet analysis. It begs the further question as to how the rate price discount of 51%/PA was arrived at? I am also curious as to whether you have any speculation as to the overall capacity of all submarine cabling worldwide and what percentage of that that GBLX owns today and going forward. Would it not be prudent to think that the rate of discounting will accelerate as we go forward? Or should we view this rather as a capacity increase that will occur due to more lambdas being applied through each fiber? And thus the value of each fiber decreasing as its utility increases? Just wondering.

Best, Ray

You are very welcome, Robert. There is nothing in Divine Law on these issues, it's quite arbitrary, and often subject to colloquial drift. When I cited the higher denominations it was to point out that

1.) GBLX doesn't commonly do exchange at the DS0 level, and that
2.) Most discussions among high capacity providers refer to T3s or OC-48s in the exchange process, and, increasingly, at the lambda and/or OC-192 levels.

Good luck with the report, Frank
