Badru, I suppose for all intents and purposes, the infrastructure is now available to allow all the ideas we are cultivating come to pass. As you say, it's up to us (the techies and non-techies) to take full advantage of the 'superhighway' that lies at the basement of the UCC building. I think it'd be up to us to generate demand for this bandwidth. Approaching banks with ideas on Internet banking, local Internet broadcasting, e.t.c.; these are services potential customers may not envisage, which leaves it up to us to create products that are previously not there (which really shouldn't be a hard sell).
