I don't think being in the main ring is such a good idea. It would be fine for 
sites in the US, access from anywhere in the US to anywhere else in the US is 
fairly consistent.

Perhaps I am a little suspicious of the main sub-sea links from my old uni days 
(limited bandwidth, probability of failure, etc...). Perhaps look at it another 
way, would you want a German site in the ring? How many people have had 
problems connecting to Star Products (Star Office).
