Hi Aki, et al, The only thing i can say is that far few folks are likely to experience the so called speeds on the immediate. As you all know most folks are subscribed to speeds less than <=256kbps. Those folks on higher are mainly at the corporate level. Mobile users on 3G/4G are going to have the speeds connected but only as far as the base stations. The backhauling of the traffic from the basestations to the core is worth checking into - am not sure how many of the operators have multi-gig links capacity to cope. If they are still on TDM type of infrastructure then its no good since the backhaul will become the immediate bottleneck to this. This is the time i wish i worked for an ISP to experience the juice at the core :) Regards, Mich aki wrote:
David, if we want to downplay this event, at least let's do it correctly. Anyway, I'm not going to disagree with anyone on anything. Its an old event now, gone. :-) On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 9:41 PM, David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd < kianiadee@gmail.com> wrote:
What exactly were we expecting from Seacom and the submarine fiber? I am amazed at how soon we expected this to happen, I get the feeling we are like a blind dog in a meat house. We can smell fiber all around but cant sink our teeth into it ;-)
