Hawaii does have lots of fiber. Monetary costs for circuits between
Guam and Hawaii are not ignorable. Also, back-haul all the way to Hawaii for
an intra-Asia interconnect causes a significant increase in latency when
compared with a Guam-based interconnect. (No, I've never been to Guam and
I don't own any land or fiber there :-)
