Then they should pay MTN and UTL for the bandwidth if they need us to use the facility.By the way rumors say that's the only reason stopping this "money involved" ;-). Secondly,though hosted in Ug territory these nodes don't have "local content" but cuts on Googles costs for requests sent to their Google Modular Data Centers (beating the IX's objective remember?)
