 SPACE.com -- Transit Headquarters: Venus Crosses the Sun June 8
The transit will be visible in all of Europe and most of Asia and Africa.
And because the first Venusian transit was only predicted in the 1600s, by Johannes Kepler, only five have been recorded, in 1639, 1761, 1769 and 1874 and 1882.
Some astronomers are interested in the transit as a way to hone skills for using the related celestial alignments for detecting planets passing in front of other stars and probing the atmospheres of those planets.

 NZGATE addressing within NZ
Early entrants to the Internet community in New Zealand, obtaining transit through NZGATE, were delegated address space out of these blocks according to the guidelines set down by APNIC and, indirectly, IANA.
Competitive advantage There has been a misconception within the NZ Internet community that Netway communications (and, latterly, NetGate/Telecom NZ) assumed the NZGATE role by providing connectivity to the Waikato network in early 1996, and by virtue of this fact the addresses delegated by APNIC to NZGATE are now, by proxy, effectively delegated to Telecom NZ.
Transition of NZGATE services to other providers The following message outlines the events surrounding the transition of international internet transit from NZGATE to other providers in early 1996, as recalled by John Houlker of Waikato University (quoted with permission).

 Web Host News | TeleGeography: IP Transit Prices Continues to Decline
October 3, 2003 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- The median price for Internet protocol (IP) transit in U.S. and Western European cities slid 10-20 percent between the first two quarters of 2003, according to The Global Internet Geography Database and Report, a recent study published by research firm TeleGeography (telegeography.com).
The report compiles market data and statistical coverage of the world?s largest Internet backbones, the traffic they carry and the carriers who operate them.
According to the report, the continued decline of transit prices is the result of "cutthroat" competition and slower then expected growth in demand.
