All very nice but anyone any idea what extra capacity is going to be put in SA to accommodate the extra traffic it will get from East Africa?
Sa only has fiber going to the Seychelles and beyond and to the west of Africa ongoing to Europe. Rumors say it's already at its max in both directions.

Here is one http://newvision.co.ug/D/8/220/597778 And now the math: The estimated cost of satellite bandwidth on a monthly lease ranges from $1,700 to $6,000 megabit/second per month. The SEACOM cable will be 20% cheaper than the current costs. Sorry???? only 20% cheaper??? This will be a success similar to the one on the west-coast, which is running at 10% of its potential.
