Hi Aki,
I earlier mentioned in a different thread KDN's initiative to build a redundant link to ensure resiliency on trunk links.
You can be sure KDN and probably other operators understand quite well the need for uninterrupted services. We are all struggling to achieve this. Give us time to meet this goal. As it goes "Rome wasn't build in one single day".
It takes quite sometime leave alone other resources to build fiber network links spanning 1500km and ensure protection of the physical route. We just made undersea cable connection a reality, protecting it is our present day challenge and time will tell.

Hello Dan :-) KDN has made huge significant progress towards network liberation, unlike others who I've been virtually screaming at for their wimax limited short term solutions rather than building national networks. For that KDN is still pioneer and well known, the first cable operator to bring seacom to kenyans at dropped rates. But somehow the trunk reliability issues have to change and with speed to match the growth of the sector. Safcom has now a strange sat redunduncy ( I think BT is back in the market ) and I think justified not to drop rates much sooner. Good luck and many thanks for your response. :-) With Rgds. -- Sign on my car is " L " plates : c#.net
