Taipei is not surprising at all. It shows the impact of the massive TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) project.

This is why CI and JX have both started service to PHX.

What this shows me is the accuracy of the data that's being shared.

It's more specific than that. It's TSMC, which is a Taiwan based company. There is a ton of back and forth specific to the TSMC project.
