Improving the Central America-Korea Connectivity

Particularly, this feasibility studies aim to explore market (including demography), forecast demand, identify the best cable routes, design the network, prepare its specifications and develop the technical, financial, managerial and environmental studies of the network. In addition, the studies will support an assessment of the best ways that international Internet connectivity charges can be reduced from the existing levels. As one possible solution, establishing a local Internet Exchange Point (IXP), which allows content aggregation and negotiation with their international counterparts for lowering the costs, is taken into account.
