I do not have the exact facts but I think the price might depend on the cost of them (Seacom) linking the different landing points to the rest of the world (or wherever their fibre stops) such as maintaining the station & cable, security(?) etc. Unless the difference in cost is not significant (i.e it costs them nearly the same to link Mombasa to the rest of the world as it costs them to link South Africa or any of the other participating countries) or they can somehow make money with the same price despite those differences, I would expect the price to be different. _______________________________________________ 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).
