1.Based on fiber optic cables which are harder to tap or eavesdrop thus more secure. 2. Possible to have voice, data and video ride on without significant quality deterioration. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Walubengo Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 8:27 AM To: Kagwe James Subject: Re: [Kictanet] Why do we need International Optical FiberConnectivity?- 1 Day Discussion Hey! 12hrs are ending without an input on the 1st and easier theme! The silence is too loud! to reduce it, here is why I think we need international optical submarine connectivity (as opposed to Satellite). 1. It is more reliable than satellite connectivity 2. It is much more faster (i.e) delay time from one continent to the other is less. 3. It has unlimited bandwidth capabilities and by extension 4. It tends (should) be cheaper to buy per Megabit. Anything I may have left out? Brian, Mucheru and others? Plse clarify, object or add. walu. --- John Walubengo <[email protected]> wrote:
Greetings All,
As announced the previous week(s) on this list, we wish to kick-off the discussion on this important submarine cable developments.
The general program is listed below and I would like us to get started. But 2 ground rules.
***Keep your contributions brief and to the point. (2-3 paragraphs, otherwise members may not have time to read through, if you have lengthy additions, just give us the url) ***Summary contributions shall be provided at the end of each discussion theme. Leading contributions shall be acknowledged and rewarded by sponsorship to a subsequent face-2-face meeting on the same topic.
So the floor is open and the question for the next 12hrs is:Why do we need International Optical Fiber Connectivity?- Plse contributed by showing the advantages, opportunities, etc of undersea fiber cable...
~~~~~000~~~~~ The other Questions/Issues that will follow.
1) Why do we need International Optical Fiber Connectivity? (1day) 2) What are the existing (and possible) Business/Financial models for Optical Fiber Submarine Cables?(2days) 3) What are the existing (and possible) Regulatory models for Optical Fiber Submarine Cables?(2days) 4) What would be the ideal model for East Africans? (2days) 5) How will this (ideal) model impact on the existing stakeholders(Consumers, Operators, Regulators,etc)(2days) 6) How can conflicting stakeholder interest be resolved?(2days)
