Kyle, i dont quite think so. Seacom landed the cable in Mombasa. Is seacom laying a cable to Uganda, or does Uganda need to find transit from someone in Kenya all the way to the border. For example, MTN may want a slice of seacom. Do they lay their own fibre to Mombasa? do they connect to Telkom Kenya's fibre at the border that is connected to seacom at Mombasa?
Which ever way they choose, the pricing will be 50-150USD/Mbps/Month at the source, Seacom, Mombasa. When it lands in Uganda, It most definately will not be 50-150USD/Mbps/Month. MTN has spent money to get it to Kampala, there will be a mark up of course. If however, Seacom layed a cable from Mombasa to Dar, Kampala, Kigali... then you would be able, as Kyle, to purchase an Mbps at 50-150USD... does that make sense? -- Mike Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a million chances happen 99% of the time. ------------------------------------------------------------
