According to this:

... it's meeting SEA-ME-WE3, SEA-ME-WE4 and FLAG in the
north for onward capacity to Europe. But they probably can
drop off for eastern capacity as well (Middle East, Asia,
Australia e.t.c.), or even interconnect with SEACOM :-).
They could probably get into Egypt as well and do something
with Telecom Egypt - aaaiiih, so many possibilities :-).

No, I meant through the Suez Canal (perhaps that should have
read "north").

Westbound would be a very long path for East Africa, unless
there was some "Trans-Central" capacity running west of East
Africa into D.R. Congo and exiting Gabon and/or Equatorial
Guinea.
If this were possible joining the WACS cable system would
make most sense, as I don't see SAT-3 being of any real use
to anyone looking to scale up in the future.
