Kai
Is there any public analysis or research on actual bandwidth utilization by sector? i.e.. Agriculture vs say Banking? And web browsing vs. Infrastructure facilitation.
Who is using what bandwidth and for what?
As we promote outsourcing and ICT industries, the conversation will shift from bandwidth availability to its exploitation by the common mwananchi
The ICT board is spending time in many forums explaining this exciting opportunity to ICT business and entrepreuners as it unfolds. We must spread the message that business and entreprenuers must be ready when the cable lands.

Walu,
like all other initiatives we have supported, KDN is seeing it as an enabler
for the market and our approach is not profit driven (of course we want to
recover the investment).
There will be more than enough capacity on this cable as on Seacom, so fully
redundant connectivity for the market will be the rule!
