I actually thought the initially phase of the NFB was already complete a whilst ago.I know for a fact that MOF is running their video, voice and data off it. The fibre being put in the ground by ATX is Warid fibre. Why everybody has to dig their own fibre still beats my understanding. Logic would have it that the money the Chinese government gave GOU for the fibre would have provided for enough capacity for various entities to lease it. As it stands the NFB is bound to be used by GOU's ministries and affiliated bodies. Soon we might have Richard and his crew also digging up the nation to cater for their own capacity. Herb
