Neither Telkom nor KDN have their fiber connections to Mombasa in Ring formation but rather are bus, this means that should either cable break for any reason, the entire Nairobi, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi stand disconnected, so much for "The Promise". This is rather puzzling and implies that should you require a redundant link to SEACOM/TEAMS you need to purchase capacity from both TKL and KDN. The same applies to the NOFBI (National Optic Fiber Backbone Initiative) which runs "countrywide". (sic) I find this design rather strange if not outright curious, does anyone know why? It's tough enough that we have to deal with Power Crisis which have similar repercussions but technical design??? inexcusable.
