I agree, think of the environment. However. Look at this practically. China, India, US etc, are currently burning loads of coal. Its cheap. We have no energy. We are burning diesel. We are still polluting, while driving up global energy pricing and paying a premium for the energy. Sad thing is that you need to have a large scale economy to consider nuclear. We cant get there without enough energy. There is clean coal technology. Reduces the footprint. We can plant trees. The situation though is untenable...

We may have our first undersea fibre optic cable, but we should now be praying that .go.ke starts up a coal plant which is (one of, if not the) cheapest sources of electricity.

80,000?!!! The fiber that landed will be used as backhaul to ISPs that had relied on VSAT. Calculate the number of internet users (including GPRS/EDGE/3G mobile users) and you should find a huge number....

Is this true ?
Study estimates that we may have only 80k home users - and that 3 fibre optic cables may be an over supply..
But then again - we can sell...
