According to an article published by the New Zealand Herald, Dotcom wants to resurrect plans for the Pacific Fibre Cable and help fund the required $330 million investment.

The cable would double New Zealand's current Internet bandwidth and support his Me.ga company, as well as a new data center that would create jobs. Dotcom sweetens the deal by proposing that he would grant internet service providers free Internet access for individual customers and charge a fee to businesses and government. The article suggests that New Zealanders could expect to pay for their broadband access only 20 percent of what they pay now and enjoy connection speeds that are up to five times faster - without bandwidth caps.

Sweet all I have to do is move to New Zealand when it does start to roll out.

That's pretty cool for the Kiwi's. :)

Obviously there's quite a bit of money to be made from owning a file hosting service.

He's the guy behind Megaupload. And as MrXidus pointed out, the upcoming me.ga.
