meanwhile..... President Obama joked that if he ever tried to “jimmy the lock” at his current address — the White House — “I’d get shot.” The digression drew laughter from journalists who until then had peppered him with questions about healthcare and the economy. http://www.nation.co.ke/InDepth/-/490068/628820/-/item/1/-/vue4hg/-/index.ht... you see,, we don't have any Internet crisis - good old satellites are working just fine:-) Alex On Fri, Jul 24, 2009 at 8:27 AM, aki<aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:
If we do and it seems to me there is a big story to be told about the Seacom aftermath , my points to you are these :
- Take it from me, there is nothing like " it takes time ". Networks simply do not operate in this manner. Contact Seacom office and find out how long does it take to connect a provider. Contact the national fiber operator eg TKL, KDN and see how long it takes to deliver the connection from mombasa to say Nairobi. The assumption is that Seacom would already have notified providers, fiber operators of its intended launch date ( including earlier tests ). So all network operators, providers must have been aware atleast 14 days prior to date of launch. Network operators, service providers do not need any special interface equipment to terminate into Seacom network. The chain of connections is as follows : Seacom station : National Fiber operator : Network Operator : Service provider : End User. So a service provider like an ISP does not need to lay their own network to mombasa.
- Service providers, network operators must be queried as to why they have not switched over.
- Do a survey of public cyber operators and see what they have been told about the fiber and its service availability? Most of them I assume are on TKL connections.
I've putting this info on this list for anyone to take it deeper. Sorry, the gravity of this event cannot cannot be left to speculations and assumptions. facts would correct everything.
Over and Out!
