Dr. Ndemo Can you please, if possible, supply us with the following vis-a-vis the fiber optic cable: 1. Schedule start of the build out 2. Scheduled termination points and when those points will be terminated. 4. Bandwidth that will be carried by the FO 3. Any maps, if available Thanks, Joe On 11/29/07, Alex Gakuru <alexgakuru.lists@gmail.com> wrote:

value to us, yet you are more concerned about how we can communicate with them instead of how to make it possible for my children to talk and see their grandmother in Mbita point without requiring to make the trip.
Not quite so. Diasporans send sizable chunks of home for Mbitarians consumption.
"The most recent data available indicates that remittances by Kenyans reached a historic month-on-month high in June when Sh3.9 billion was sent into the country." < http://www.bdafrica.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4622&Itemid=5822
Though you are right also about a national fibre network would enhance far flung families bonding and save our Mbitarian business lexicon travel expenses ( i.e. help in converting remittances into investments rather than consumption).
"It is estimated that full compliance with the licensing requirements costs Kenyan businesses Sh5 billion annually." < http://www.bdafrica.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4621&Itemid=5822
Agreed! Local fibre saves locally and international one boosts remittances hence my argument elsewhere, "we need both pentium and penicillin" and it the juglers' job ( Read Ndemo:) to give us the optimal mix.
Notwithstanding, absent fibres remains no excuse for inefficient and opaque service delivery by those employed by the public and all government agencies.
Sawa?
