The only way to prevent these vandalisms is to let the city and metro councils own these networks and give the service - this is how it works in Europe and the US. If the councils have the infrastructure and capacity is leased from them, no one would even think of cutting the fibre since you may be cutting your own links. Before I hear anyone shout about inefficiencies of our own Nairobi City Council - for this to work, the councils must have the capacity and personael to handle such infrastructures. ./Ok3ch On Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 9:46 PM, Paul Msava <pmsava@gmail.com> wrote:
possible reasons like;
1. Mere vandalism -like the night runners in kenyan villages :-) or 2. High stake business interests especially if your revenue like is pegged in splicing (repairing) fibre cuts or seapiracy

who are the vandals? some stupid telco or some thief who mistook fiber for copper. Any telco thinking that subscribers will shift because of cable cuts must be in the wrong business. Extorting from matatus might be a better try.
