Aki, I'm told you should try Safaricom for your fiber cravings :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "aki" <aki275@googlemail.com> To: "Skunkworks forum" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Sent: Friday, July 24, 2009 7:35:20 AM GMT +03:00 Iraq Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Benchmarking Seacom @ Hi David and all, I appreciate all the comments and with all due kind respect to everyone, I'm sorry to tell you that I see things much more differently. The issue of speeds, latencies, jitter, bandwidth etc is irrelevant, that comes with the fiber naturally. What I see is a terrible failure on our part. What I'm surprised though is that we accept this failure as a norm and for people who are understand networks etc to see other professionals accept the norm is terribly disturbing. However, what we should be asking ourselves is this " What did we NOT expect? ". For whatever reasons that entire community of telcos, network operators , service providers choose not to go simulatenous with the launch is upto them. For me, the writing is on the wall, clear. " DAY 2 of international fiber launch and 99% of kenya is still in the dark ages of the satellite era! " An excellent start and with plenty of excuses to back it up. Anway, Im on a timeout so will leave it there................................... Best Rgds, Aki. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks Other services @ http://my.co.ke Other lists ------------- Announce: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks-announce Science: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/science kazi: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/kazi/general
