Boeing now offering 330 ETOP (http://www.ainonline.com/?q=aviation-news/2011-12-12/boeing-offer-330-minute-etops-777) option and Air New Zealand first to take it up.
That's along way now... the corners of the world are disappearing ;)

From what I can tell there is just a tiny little bit of Antarctica that is outside of 330 EDTO. Wont make much of a difference to ANZ ops I imagine till they start looking at new routes to South America.

B777 330min ETOPS coverage based at 410kts.
Yes, a section of Antarctica remains outside 330. I'd argue that it's not a "tiny bit" though - it's a big place! :8
