Dear Listers,
Apologies for starting the thread late and thanks
to all those who responded actively on the first day, the thread is
still open. Today we look at Infrastructure issues, a quick glance
through last years report brings to mind the Pomp that greeted the
TEAMS and SEACOM initiative, one year down the line, it would only be
good to review the milestones we have made this far, going through an
earlier discussion on this list, i noted an interesting article posted
by listers that mentioned the fact that the undersea cable has led to a
boom in Spam coming from the this region, the study was conducted by
Symantec, i know this is just a tip of the ICEBERG and would like to
look at the issue from a Social perspective as well as an economic
perspective, are there real (tangible benefits) that the cables have
brought or is it euphoria, do we have indicators that show how the
country has benefited?, what do the various consituencies have to say?
Consumer advocates, Youth Representatives, the Private Sector?..the
discussion is open
