Well, right now UETCL provides the bulk of the fibre connectivity for providers in Uganda planning to connect to kenya for Seacom and TEAMS

After 8 months of waiting for a response and getting noe from the ministry, they decided to start digging their own. See how people in Govt aren't business minded? Reminds me of the UETCL official who 4 years ago when asked why they were not leasing out capacity on their fibre, the chap responded by saying that UETCL doesn't need to put other people on the fibre that they have laid on their power lines. He stated how it was for them exclusively. A few months back, I saw an advert where they were inviting companies to help them commercialise that data capacity. I wonder what he has to say now.

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.

Can't say it was much better when they were in Tank Hill Muyenga, I also suspect that they really were going down 1m in places.
