The travesty is that ISOC has given up a sure-fire stream of $55+ million/year in tax-free income, along with the ability to easily grow that to over $100m/year with price increases - all for just over $1.1 billion.

   Pacific Fibre co founder here. Most of the article is right, some is wrong. I wrote about the underlying issues here: http://lancewiggs.com/2012/11/05/pacific-fibre-ii-background... Pacific Fibre, the company, is closed down. We had a great contract to build, solid customer contracts for launch but failed to build an investor book to the required us$300m.
