To avoid such situations.... no rush to drop satellite.... On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 3:31 PM, Alex Nderitu <nderitualex@gmail.com> wrote:

It's called planning and emergency procedures. If you have escalation levels in place ( Incase of cable failure of such importance would mean the highest escalation level) then crises management will automatically take over. If these are missing or not been adapted to given crises situations, then the outcome will always be the same. I think this is not the first time that the SAT3 cable has been a problem so there is nothing new to the operators along that route. Question takes us back in crises management and escalation levels.

That is why operators are buying on multiple cables, and also most cables are linked in south Africa and the middle east. the chances of both Teams and Seacom shaering at the same time is *low*. so you can move to cable safely... 2009/7/30 aki <aki275@googlemail.com>

lmao! lol! . I don't think 90% of kenyans have to worry about such events for a long time to come. They are not even on undersea fiber packets to start off with. Incase we ever make it to undersea packets, then assumption is that the telcos and operators will have designed their networks to take in consideration such events are very possible and have sat redundancy at a low level. With sat there is the usual annual sun outages that blank out an entire country , so then multiple sat services needed from different satellites = no outages at all. No technology is fool proof. :-) -- "..when birds become dinosaurs once more, wake me up else let me slumber..zzzz" -- Me
