Listers , there is very loud silence with regard to Infrastructure issues i suppose we have adopted a wait and see approach, i can hear murmus across various lists within the country as well as regionally that seacom is down http://www.seacomblog.com/team-seacom/2010/07/seacom-service-down-seacom-actively-seeking-solutions, probably we are getting used to this scenario, however is this right?

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
