I think that point was that there needs to be connections between the
provider and another continent of the set size - not necessarly the
providers own link.

ie, a 2Meg connection to another provider which has in turn has a 64K 
connection to the rest of the world would not qualify as being a connection
above 64K, whilst, say, a 128K connection to one of the major backbone
providers would be considered above 64K.

Of course, I could be wrong...
