Saw this on CNN website earlier. http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/09/23/stockholm.helicopter.heist/i… . Seems someone took of with a lot cash from G4S in Stockholm, then I remembered this case of daylight robbery involve G4S near Yaya yesterday. Do you think they are related and these guys were carrying out a synchronized robbery? I heard they have this machine that defaces currency when at attempted robbery occurs. Do they use then?

prnewswire AccessKenya and Tata Communications Sign Partnership Agreement to Launch Tier 1 Internet Point of Presence in Kenya
by Kevin Ouma 24 Sep '09

- The Kenya IP PoP Will Link East African Users to Europe and South Africa as well as to Asia and India via the SEACOM Cable System Tata Communications, a leading provider of a new world of communications, and AccessKenya Group, Kenya's first publicly listed ICT company and leading corporate Internet service provider, today announced that they have signed a partnership agreement to establish a Tier 1 Internet Point-of-Presence (PoP) for Tata Communications in Nairobi, Kenya. As a global Tier1 IP provider with 1.5Tbps meshed network built on 10G backbones, Tata Communications is one of the world's leading carriers of Internet traffic. Tata Communications is also the number one provider out of Kenya for global internet connectivity to local carriers, service providers and mobile operators *. By building a PoP in Kenya, Tata Communications will be able to offer Internet and other service providers access to one of the most dynamically routed and high performance global IP networks for service delivery. The IP PoP is configured to automatically offer redundant paths for Internet traffic going north towards Europe and southwards to South Africa well as to Asia and India over the SEACOM cable system. Should there be a fiber cut on the route to London, for example, traffic will be diverted through South Africa to ensure that customer services are not disrupted. Besides resilience, service providers purchasing bandwidth from the Kenya PoP will be able to benefit from the higher speeds and direct links offered by the new connection. Previously, in order for service providers in Kenya to offer Internet links to Asia or South Africa, they needed to buy international fiber through a cable network to London, meaning all traffic would be routed through London rather than through a more direct route. "We are delighted to have been chosen by Tata Communications to partner with them for the establishment of the first Tier 1 Internet PoP in Kenya " said Jonathan Somen, AccessKenya Group Managing Director. "Tata Communications is one of the world's largest carriers of international data traffic and for them to set up a PoP in Kenya puts us on the global connectivity map. AccessKenya has already signed up as the first customer on the jointly launched PoP to enable our customers to benefit from the new connectivity." Claude Sassoulas, Managing Director for Global Data Solutions at Tata Communications, said: "Tata Communications is well established in the African market and has been providing Internet access to ISPs for over 10 years in Kenya and other African countries, via the acquisition of Teleglobe. We are pleased to be able to draw on AccessKenya's data expertise in the establishment of the PoP."
