You need to define broadband. Which I think is the most misused word on the continent. I think a certain cable company is offering services to it's clients for 50,000 a month offered over a broadband pipe. The trickle bandwidth, i.e the pipe can be big thanks to fibre or coaxial technology used to deliver cable TV but if the uplink is shared by hundreds you get the trickle service. If we call this broadband due to the method of access and not the content then yes we have sub $40 broadband access in Uganda. :-) _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
