RE: Africa spends US$400 million on internal traffic

[Robert.Shaw at itu.int]

There was a quantitative analysis done a few years
ago for LAC by Regulatel/Ahciet/Ovum for possible 
cost savings for LAC countries by setting up regional 
IXPs but all I've found online is this summary 
in Spanish at http://www.ahciet.net/REVISTA/90/flujos_II.pdf with
the numbers for scenarios/conclusions on pages 11 and 12. 
They argued there were substantial savings to be had...
