Editor's Notes
- 2013 Latam-US became highest capacity regional route over Europe-US (Latam transit to US/content) and private networks dampening trans-atl growth. Top routes in terms of capacity – US-Europe, (number one still london-ny but now Latam-US next 2 Miami-Rio & Sao Paolo Latam-US big bcs only inter regional route Latam similar to Africa – 80% of international capacity is connected to US Intra in Latam grew 70% to 18% of capacity
- Annual growth used to be low 40s (doubling every 2 years) last 4 years in low 30s. Due to: Private networks – CDNs and cloud service providers, changing traffic patterns, localizing traffic. Trans-atlantic & trans-pacific used capacity now majority private network, dampening intl internet growth
- Internet capacity has 5 year CAGR at 31% Content provider capacity 76% Total international capacity at 45%
- Main East-West routes 50-75% content provider traffic (US-Europe-Asia) North-South routes 5-20% content provider traffic (US-Latam, Eur-Africa) Trans-Atlantic majority content 70% Trans-Pacific over 50% Euro-Africa almost 10%
- Each line represents the median monthly lease price for an unprotected 10 Gbps wavelength on the listed route. Prices are in USD and exclude local access and installation fees.
- Each column represents the weighted median monthly price per Mbps in the listed city. The line represents the decline of the median price calculated as a three year compound annual growth rate. Prices are in USD and exclude local access and installation fees. 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GigE) = 10,000 Mbps. While 10 GigE is the predominant unit of wholesale IP transit transactions in many regions, high capacity sales have just started to emerge in Africa. Sales are limited to major markets such as South Africa and Kenya, where median 10 GigE port prices were $24 per Mbps in Q2 2016. now $9 with market price as low as $5
- Notes: Each line represents the weighted median monthly lease price for an unprotected 10 Gbps wavelength on an individual route. Each circle represents the weighted median monthly price per Mbps for a 10 GigE IP transit port in the listed city. Routes and cities are shaded corresponding to price, from least expensive in blue to most expensive in red. Prices are in USD and exclude local access and installation fees. 10 Gbps & 10 GigE = 10,000 Mbps.
- Before 2009 only 16 countries with sub cable landings YE 2016 33 countries Guinea Bissau, Eritrea, Western Sahara only countries w/o landings, plans for GB for next year
- Annual Growth 53% almost 6Tbps
- Annual Growth 69%
- Only intra-African above 50Gbps SA – Zimbabwe 2016 2017 – COUNTRY-TO-COUNTRY routes (aggregate the city-to-city routes)
- North Africa continues to climb, 98% to Europe
- Intra-Africa – 9% to 15% Africa 2013-2017 CAGR 106%?? Europe 46%
- >1Gbps New growing hub CdI, Djibouti Algeria & Tunisia all to Europe
- Colo floor space proxy for location of exchanged traffic (check legend)
- Will update to reflect 2018 with Azure in S Africa
- Africa vs Global intl internet bw growth year? CAGR 2017-2023 3G – 34% to 40% pop penetration 2017 vs 2021 LTE – 3% to 16% pop pen 2017 vs 2021 Peering vs Transit cagr 2017-2023 Africa CAGR
