and pricing in australia had nothing to do with a monopilist telco with a rapacious plan highly well articulated and sold to the govt by an arch-capitalist with a silver tongue?

It used to, but not so much now.

The access tail price is still dominated by Telstra's macinations, but
national SDH capacity is relatively competitive these days, and Telstra
are almost completely uninvolved in transpacific pricing.

Transpacific pricing is more driven by the duopoly effects of AJC and
Southern Cross.  Will be interesting to see how PPC-1 shakes the market
up next year.  We're looking forward to it.
