In Kenya; cutting out main internet is simple...
Simply send a few guys in the Ukambani wide lands; with a panga...
And they cut the fiber [?]<whack!>
=== Yes I know we have the issue of satellites etc,, but i have noticed that many companies abandoned the more expensive satellites for the cheaper (more vulnerable) fiber.
Then after that the fiber, the Gova then shuts down power... And guys with satellite continue using UPS.
When UPS runs outs, we will be left with guys with Solar --- and thats like less than 0.5%.
So if we dont want to be shut down (internet wise),, lets invest on building by building Solar energy,, and add a little satellite connection!
