Of course they will, it's how they will make their ROI. So SEACOM builds to Mombasa (or Jinja if you believew their map), then KDN/KT-Orange build from Eldoret to Busia, MTN and UTL have already built to Busia, and they all want to charge the smaller ISPs for a ride on that glass.

None of the budding ISPs can afford to duplicate what is already built/build on both sides of the border. -- Cheers, McTim _______________________________________________ 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).
