Obviously I can't speak for the providers in question, but I'd guess that the cost for transit in AP is strongly 
related to the cost of long-haul transport.  Once upon a time, the majority of Internet traffic in AP countries *did* 
originate in the US.  Does anybody have data that this is changing?
