Hello,

FLAG is planning it's IPO as a company very soon. As for the capacity on any system I was proposing a commodity exchange for submarine and Sat capacity.

To ensure fair play, KDN as an infrastructure provider will not go into capacity retail.

Once again, for KDN and the country, the cheaper the capacity gets the better. KDN will support any initiative that will aim at lower prices.

I agree with both [Ndemo and Kai] Esq.. albeit in part.

Open Access can be re-defined at a new (higher) level if both Govt (TEAMS) and Private (FLAG) float shares to the public in these ventures before the projects commence. We (Mwananchi) thus becomes consumers in ownership earning dividend...and everybody goes home happy.

Maybe our primary recommendation should be that a venture which entails public consumables like this cable should first be floated to the public so that we ALL gain.

Dear All,
It is appropriate to thank Walubengo for the excellent job he is doing in
moderating this discussion.  I am suprised that some of you are making
outrageous statements like "TEAMs is to go to a monopoly".  This is not
true because I am sure that the TEAMs design has not been made public.
Secondly, it in the Government interest that these projects benefit
mwananchi.

The Government would continue to encourage competition to ensure the costs
are at the lowest.  The only reason one would feel hurt about competitor
progress is when that person wants the monopoly status.
