I'm trying to find some KT contacts. Email to the sales contacts on
their web pages are vanishing, and we'd really like to colo.
Any contact info would be appreciated.
thanx!

A top-posted self-followup: There seems to be no way for normal humans
to reach Korea Telecom. That's OK, I'd rather not colocate a critical
business function with the Invisible Company anyway.
So, let me change the question. Anyone know of good colo in the AP
region with excellent regional connectivity? I know it's a large,
discontiguous area to cover, but I'm happy with "as good as it gets"
as an answer.
Bonus question: colo in London to cover the EU region? Colt looks nice
but their numbers are off the scale.
thanks,
matto

We have a whole bunch of racks at pbase.net - they peer at HKIX. Or try Singtel in Singapore.

Which part of asiapac do you really want to colo in?

The physical location is secondary to the quality of connectivity to
the region, and the quality of the facility, in that order.
For some background, I'm locating the AP node of an anycasted service.
If cost were no object, I'd probably colo nodes in Australia, Tokyo,
and Hong Kong (or Korea); but I get one POP for the region in the
budget, so thats how it goes.

Singapore would be your best bet for this I think.
The pertinent questions are, I think (a) what do you mean by "the region" and (b) what constitutes good quality connectivity for your application?
Asia Pacific is a big place. If you really mean "the whole of Asia Pacific", the answer is quite possibly still "Palo Alto".

"The region" does indeed mean the whole of asia pacific. My objective
is to locate the service where query-response latency will be the
lowest for as many clients in the region as possible.
I realize that AP is a tough area to cover; I spent three years doing
ISP work in Tokyo. Like I said in my reply to Suresh, I'd love to be
able to drop more than one POP in the region. F's locations in New
Zealand, Hong Kong, and Seoul sound pretty ideal. Unfortunately, I
only have room for one POP on the budget.

HKIX would be your best bet, considering it's connectivity to Far East,
Pacific, South East, South Asia as well as west Asia both over fiber
and satellite. It's also a more competitive market than Singapore or
Seoul - more bang for you buck.

Looking from the Indian subcontinent I can see that most of the large ISPs get additional pipes from, and peer at, singtel to supplement their pipes from formerly monopoly / govt telcos and satellite feeds.
I do know that Reach is doing the same thing with HK connectivity but Singtel seems streets ahead of them in this respect, at least here in India.
