been reading about the essay cable and it looks like thats going to be the landing that causes the biggest shake up to this mess. apparently, these ISPs are all hooked up to the seacom and teams cables already however, they are still costing at satellite connectivity prices..(about 4000 per mb as opposed to 200 usd…if memory serves me right)..also, another disappointing but expected outcome is the chaps laying the cables “ate” and that means the infrastructure issues havent been sorted out completely…but hook or crook, we’ll get there!

I’m sure eventually, this broadband will trickle down to us over the next few years, especially if the EASSY and TEAMS fibre cables also get lit.

As for being an ISP, watch this space

I couldn’t agree more. The policies need to be scrutinized by the IT sector, both private and public, and the ISPs need to have more to look at than just their bottom line. I think there is a huge niche for customer oriented services.

If UCC takes control of Seacom, well, we’re screwed, but the likelihood of that happening is pretty low.
