Hi All,

This should be a simple one.

I have heard that we have Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 ISPs.I do assume we only
have Tier 1 and Tier 2 in the US, Europe and Asia (Japan, China).

In a third world country, can we have Tier 1 and Tier 2? Or we just have
Tier 3 ISPs which connect to Tier 1 and Tier 2 in the USA, etc?

Okay, I ask this question because I was reading an article in Kenya about a
local ISP there called UUNET-Kenya (www.uunet.co.ke) and they are saying
that they are a Tier 1 ISP. I did not think that that Kenyan ISP is Tier 1,
but I do know that its parent company (Worldcom?) is Tier 1.

Was it just marketing to the locals there??

Thanks for your answers

Mwalie
