20% of what?
The stories about the 20% cut in prices for international bandwidth from Southern Cross would be a lot more informative if they included some idea of how much it costs before and after, or, even better, roughly what fraction of the consumer price goes to international bandwidth. Even to the nearest 20% would be nice.
Otherwise we’re not getting much value added over the press release.
