Page 3 of 3 Southern Cross will soon see the defection of its largest Australian customer, Telstra, which is building its own direct link to the USA with a new cable to Hawaii that will provide capacity of 1.28tbps and from where it will interconnect with other cables providing direct access to mainland USA in which Telstra already owns capacity. Despite the increased competition, Pfeffer asserted that: "[Southern Cross] will continue to be the preferred network supplier in our market." Pfeffer said he was confident that "in combination with the natural Southern Cross advantages of lowest latency, inbuilt cable diversity and abundant capacity supply, the latest upgrade will continue to offer big advantages to Southern Cross customers. " The Southern Cross upgrade will be carried out by Alcatel-Lucent which is also building the new Telstra cable. Pipe Networks has named Tyco as the builder of its system, subject to its decision to proceed.{moscomment}
