Hari, i am in no way a doomsday prophet, however the eassy cable and other under sea optic fibre cables will only solve less than 20% of our current Internet problems.
Similar cable efforts in West and Southern Africa, have not significantly changed their fortunes. The advantages of the EASSY cable are obvious, however having a big Lake, like L. Victoria (or is it Nalubaale) does not automatically translate into piped water, to the people of Uganda. Countries in deserts are actually better off. can i stop here > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
