It's more expensive to install and operate a fiber in an ocean than
along the railway-tracks.
Regardless of tariffs, 4000 miles of transatlantic OC-48 is more
expensive than 4000 miles of land-line OC-48.
So, if both sides agrees on the 'benefit ratio' add the costs and
divide the sum according to the ratio.
