| Abstract: | New high-capacity links in Europe and Asia could represent the beginning of the end of the rest of the world's having to send its Internet traffic through U.S.-based networks. The international structure of the Internet has been very U.S.-centric. It has been cheaper for ISPs in other countries to send traffic to the U.S. than to transmit it directly to regional centers. As a consequence, the Internet looked as though the U.S. ruled the roost. This structure is beginning to change -- dramatically. |
