I agree with okechukwu, speeds were there.But one thing that wasn't there was low latencies.People like me who have to do everyday tasks on unix servers hosted abroad will be easier to manage, it will be like managing a server hosted in kenya. And i predict software development will grow coz of no restrictions that vsat was giving us, that will enable moving huge shitloads of source code from one continent to the other.Anyway, let us sit back and see how it turns out On Fri, Jul 24, 2009 at 11:22 AM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:
You guyz talk of high speed because the fibre has arrived, I've been having my high speeds on satellite for ages and nothing much changes - I just download more movies. As much as it is something to write home about - you should never expect change in an instance. Until this high speed reaches the majority, then it will spur change - personally, I give fibre between 6months to 1 year before I start noticing any change in the way we work & do business.

Aki, considerable experience in the industry has made me a realist. I'm inclined to lend more credit to things I experience rather than press releases and photos of smiling big-shots with hard hats

woo, Rad! at least sometimes we should try and not downplay things of great importance. To help you kidogo, kenya got the most modern airport and facilites yesterday yet no planes showed to pick or drop passengers, and neither have the planes showed up today and tomorrow. But the passengers are waiting in at the check-in counters. HTHs.
