It's easier for Orange to put all those 10 E1's on a single 21Mbps site coz they own and operate their own fibre network, from back in the day. But it will still cost them more than it's worth in the final analysis. On the other hand , kina Safaricom and Airtel have to lease this capacity from....guess who and who and who? yeah, and the price per circuit is not that friendly.So for the operator who knows what they are on about, 21Mbps is not so hot at the moment after all....

On another note, does providing all that transmission bandwidth to each and every 3G site to provide and sustain 21Mbps make economic sense?

Washington,
I think 'most reliable' would be a better term than 'fastest'!Think about this,even though I hear many good stories about Orange 3G,I can only use it in the CBD but when I get home I have to use something else simply because there is no reception where Iive!Ilive in Lang'atta and as many would argue,this is very close to the city!Why would Orange not have proper coverage here? Scenario number two - if you need to use the connection away from Nairobi,don't even think about another service provider unless you intend to subject yourself to untold frustration!I do not like Safaricom myself ever since they discovered the term 'unlimited internet' could be used to describe 'Capped at a theoretical 512Kbps' and 'actual speeds of 6Kbps to 61Kbps' - add that to intermittent disconnections!But what options do I have?CCK seems to have forgotten all together why consumers need to be protected - we are on our own here!
