Bandwidth Savings

Peering is great when you can get to the IX inexpensively. I assume that glass that goes underwater has a significant increase in cost and therefore the cost savings of peering would be minuscule in comparison to the cost of the rest of the connectivity.

I don't know the the Caribbean Internet Exchanges market. Are any worth 
peering at versus buying additional L2 bandwidth to Miami?
