I find this partnership strategic based on the clientele AK has....I suspect TATA could not manage to flex muscles to the likes of KDN,JTL,etc.... On another note, when is FLAG reaching Port Sudan? ./bernard On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 12:53 PM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:

@Aki, Ever wondered how TATA has PoP all over the world from Laurentides Canada to Paris to SA to London telehouse?
This agreement is very strategic to both TATA and AK.....It must have sent shivers down UUNET spines!... Corporates in and around East and Central Africa now only have to look to TATA/AK PoP and for a strong presence in the electronic world! I forsee this relationship taking major stake in TEAMS and SEACOM...watch this space...

Hey Bernard, dont get me wrong on POPs. They are going to change the face of comms completely and am glad its in kenya. Its the TATA/AK arrangement. I'd rather TATA chose stronger performers who have atleast a national network. Inter-connections into POPs will create management nightmares on reliability and support. I was very glad when TATA talked about a kenyan pop a few weeks ago, now they made blunder.
To put this into perspective, what does AK offer on a national scale? What can AK offer Uganda/Rwanda as a TATA pop?
Corrections/Additions welcome...
