I believe connectivity across borders will not be as big a problem - i remember the SEACOM president saying they were working out something with Orange and Zain to get into Uganda as they already had links along the route.
Busia!! i think that is good progress so far.

This is a town between Nakuru and Naivasha. I believe the Kenya side will be cabled quiet fast. Is there any cabling progress on the UG side to connect. ________________________________ From: Wire James <[email protected]> To: Linux Users Group Uganda <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 10:51:23 AM Subject: Re: [LUG] Digital Planet Erika Is the Gigiri you are referring to the one in Nairobi where there is some UN complex?

I'm sure we can even start using the cables at Busia for interconnection into Nairobi itself :-). Cheers, Mark. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

But Orange Telecom and Kenya Data Network either are on the forefront or have necessary Capabilitiy to interlink East Africa through cable. No idea about Malaba connection, but cabling is now spreading to other towns in Kenya. Plan is to cover all North and northern eastern Kenya by end of year (Remotest parts in Kenya). ________________________________ From: Mark Tinka <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: Erika Wanda <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 11:24:46 AM Subject: Re: [LUG] Digital Planet On Tuesday 21 April 2009 04:13:51 pm Erika Wanda wrote: > Sorry I gave outdated news.

Then that's great - lots of options into Nairobi.

They would have to partner with the other East African countries to do so, as building infrastructure inside a foreign country would require a license + others. > No idea about Malaba connection, but cabling is now > spreading to other towns in Kenya.
