New York is the Internet capital - TeleGeography
By Total Telecom staff

30 October 2001

New York is the world's Internet capital in terms of bandwidth
connectivity, according to Washington DC-based research group TeleGeography
Inc.

With almost 150 Gbps of region-to-region bandwidth connectivity, the Big
Apple is hooked up to more than two-thirds of all interregional Internet
capacity worldwide. London comes a long way second, with just over 85 Gbps.

According to the TeleGeography report, Packet Geography 2002, New York has
direct connections into 71 other countries, 10 more than London.

The report ranks global Internet cities according to their roles as
"interregional hub cities," measuring how much Internet capacity links them
to other world regions. After NY and London, Amsterdam, Paris, and San
Francisco complete the Internet global city top five.

In all, five of the top 10 cities are in the U.S., four are in Europe, and
one, Tokyo, is in Asia. Although Europe and Asia each have major hub
locations, most Internet traffic between Asia and Europe still traverses
U.S. coast-to-coast routes. Indeed, according to the report, 13 of the top
25 companies providing international Internet connections in the U.S. are
based outside of North America.

The Top 10 in full is:

1. New York (149,989.5 Mbps of Internet bandwidth)
2. London (85,518.7 Mbps)
3. Amsterdam (24,479.6 Mbps)
4. Paris (22,551.8 Mbps)
5. San Francisco (20,813.6 Mbps)
6. Tokyo (16,745.5 Mbps)
7. Washington DC (13,261.2 Mbps)
8. Miami (11,912.4 Mbps)
9. Los Angeles (11,227.0 Mbps)
10. Copenhagen (10,417.0 Mbps)

Note: Figures represent Internet bandwidth connected across international
borders to Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas or equivalents.
Domestic routes are omitted. Data as of mid-2001.
