Hello,

This was the proposal made to the Govt, atleast I know they are considering this, we already have fibre to Lamu (on going), Garissa comes from Nairobi via Thinka if you connect these two you have redunderncy remember they lay lots of fibre 34 core sometimes but they only use a couple, so capacity is there, when the two are connected then you have a ring Nai > MSA > Lamu > Garissa. The otherone is headed to nyeri > Nanyuki > Isolo > Meru > Embu back to thika ... Ring. Kisii connect via Narok and Kitale and Kisumu blah blah thats how they are looking into it atleaset in the books ... Implementation? well thats upto the Political class to decide .. KDN might be considering this, I know from some high sources, that they are considering connecting Kenya to West africa via DRC now they are in rwand

David, I think KDN is building a second fiber cable run along that route. Likely the problem is that most PDNOs who have licenses have been focusing on metro wireless networks. An example is AK, who waited until the last minute to lay its own cable network. ( I think Nairobi only ). So KDN get the innovator and development congrats on this. The others are nowhere to be seen except WiMax this and that.. hehehe :-)
 
Aki, would you know if the second KDN fiber is going to be in the same duct route, if so i do not see any protection from a physical fault/cable break. I would suggest the use a different physical path e.g. along the railway line, kplc overhead route.

Just my 2 cents.
