During the launch - was the 1Gbps even 50% utilized? Tito 2009/7/25 Gakuru Alex <alexgakuru.lists@gmail.com>
ok, this is just a gut feeling..
"SEACOM has completed and commissioned its 1,28 terabits per second (Tb/s), 17, 000 kilometres"
yet at launch "Attendees at all launch events experienced the high-speed capabalities took place through a one-gigabit-per-second live international connection at all locations."

Questions: 1) Why was it that only 1 GB/s at all launch location if they had 1.28 Tb/s capacity? 2) Could they have just purchased some temporary 1 GB/s from satellites, pumped it to completed segments for the launch? 3) Were we taken for a ride thus you guys that stayed up all night pinging... pinging.. and pinging... you were fell for it?
oh no, I hope I am wrong...
