Two weeks or until the second and the third fiber optic lands here!
So is the fiber switched "ON" already? I'd love to know which local ISPs have completely switched to the cable (of course keeping the satellite uplink for redundancy).

And for one those who will attend, record the entire meet in your phones and put it somewhere for the rest of us; we might as well start rudimentary podcasting. 2009/6/16 Solomon Mburu <solo.mburu@gmail.com>
And while @ that Alex, let Morris be there even if it's in attendance. Otherwise keep up the good work.

Yeah, the PS is better placed to clear the air on the fiber optic cable. Invite him for the Tuesdays talk soon.

For the avoidance of doubt, I am not the "speaker" - me only spoke after presenting this "motion":-)
@nyarotho,( & @Phares K)
is it just the politics? Somebody in the know please make this clear.
I have another idea:-) Could I invite PS Ndemo to speak on IT entrepreneurship one of the skunkworks@tuesdays. Met him recently with innovator Morris Mbetsa and I am actually inclined to think he'd make time for it. (In fact have b'ccd him on this:-)

Point of order Mr. Speaker Sir . Wait......this just in....... In yesterdays Sunday Nation, it was reported that TEAMS has hit a financial iceberg: apparently some of the small shareholders( those with 1.25% - Accessk, Inhand, Equip) are unable to pay up and are going back to consult their boards. I know the composition of some of these firms and they boast of some of Kenya's longest serving ICT players. Have they foreseen some major loss/failure of the system or is it just the politics? Somebody in the know please make this clear. KR,

Cool, the PS has been pushing this thing for a long time... Now that the cable is here, what are the governments next plans ? <I am thinking millions of youth of age 18-> ??? who have now mostly turned to at least one IT related subject from the time they finish high school.. will there be programs made to sell or secure contracts like india and china have done for their engineers and technicians ? > outsourcing, call centers, solution contracts etc I think that will be an interesting topic.
