Roller coasters aren't my thing so I've just now checked in...seems we went past the scary section while I had me eyes closed. Me, too. I didn't even see the day's low. Wish all my roller-coaster dips were this painless. :) Pat

Fueled by the growth in international data services, Internet backbone expansions, and multinational private networks, the demand for transpacific capacity is increasing at rates exceeding 100% per year, the issue reports. Capacity on the most recent transpacific cable, TPC-5, was sold out in 1997. Consequently, Pioneer states that more systems will be put into the transpacific region in the next two years than into any other region in the world. According to Pioneer, investment in new transpacific systems in each of the next two years will be almost as much as the total investment in transpacific systems over the last ten years combined. In 1999 and 2000, investment in new transpacific systems will be $2.2 billion each year, for a total new investment of $4.4 billion (see table below). By comparison, cumulative investment for the ten years from 1988 to 1998 was only $2.685 billion. >>>>
