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!

Subject: [kictanet] TEAMs to switch into Private Hands
The current issue of The EastAfrican claims that the
government submarine fiber project is to be transferred to
the initial co-financiers : Safaricom, KDN, Jamii, amongst
others.
Will the eventual majority shareholders - essentially the
private sector - operate the cable on Open Access
principles? Specifically, the following questions arise.
1. Will the cable be open for direct connectivity (at the
source in MSA) to other future telco players?
2. Will the price of connecting to the international fiber
be driven by profit-motives or will it be based on the
'cost-of-operating-the-fiber' basis.
3. What modalities exist for future investors who may wish
to own part of the fiber maybe 2 or 5years after the cable
is operational- or will this thing be a closed-club to the
original financiers once the cable becomes operational?
(remember the consortium approach of EASSy?)
4. What are the steps involved in transparently
transferring this public resource into private sector?
just wondering...
walu.
