CNets reports that "Southeast Asia has its first 100Gbps network — the SingAren-Lightwave Internet Exchange (SLIX). Meant for research and education purposes, SLIX was set up by the Singapore Advanced Research and Education Network (SingAren) at a cost of around S$15 million ($12 million, £7 million or AU$13 million)."
"Besides the obvious use case for researchers to download and upload research material quickly, students in partner universities in Singapore, such as the National University of Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University, are also able to enjoy quicker access to Google and Microsoft services (such as YouTube and patch files) thanks to content peering."
