@ Aki..

It may be a big deal that fiber is finally here, but.. i think stability is never achieved the day of the launch. It takes time to iron out technical/operational/other issues that may not have been foreseen, especially with the live network.

@Tito,

Sorry but I have to ask this: What is it that the operators had to learn on the day the cable was switched on that they did not learn during the numerous training sessions they attended?
Did they not already know how to connect the equipment? How to route the traffic? While I do agree with Riyaz that it was a :meda launch:, I, just like Aki, still fail to understand why operators did not go live. I should have thought that it would be something like "guys, tomorrow we terminate services with Teleglobe and switch to NewSkies". I have seen that done several times before. Why couldn't they do this for the fiber? Wasn't it just another "change of provider", if I may ask?
