Predictable earnings are being challenged by the uncertainty of on-demand services. New players with great drawing power seem to be emerging every day. And while access continues to be a challenge in many lesser developed parts of the Pacific hemisphere, applications and services are growing more valuable with the effect of creating ever more demand forcing down rates for broadband transport.
