Hi Edith, The Jamii FTTH project is yet to be rolled out but on the same vein we need to appreciate that FTTH is no longer the model of choice for delivery of connectivity to the home due to the high cost of the termination equipment and the process of repairing damaged fibre. It costs about 25,000/- to terminate a pair of fibre and since your equipment in the home will most likely not have a fibre port you will require to convert the light pulses to electrical signals that can be delivered to your computers or set top boxes ethernet card. The cheap fibre to Ethernet transceivers cost on average 15,000/-. Fibres high bandwidth capabilities and long runs are ideal for back-haul and trunk applications, the last mile is still best served over copper due to the ease of installation and maintenance. The bandwidth capabilities of fibre optic cable will be underutilised in the home, DSL still remains the ideal last mile solution even where triple play is to be delivered. As we develop more gated communities the safety of copper will be increased therefore reducing the efforts of the providers to getting the fibre to the gate. Also note that with fibre trying to implement voice services such as intercom within a development will proof very expensive is you will need to used SIP phones. With DSL the same cable delivering data will be able to also delivery voice cost effectively. AccessKenya and the elk have been having an uphill task selling WiMax equipment for 45,000/- and finally opted to supply the equipment for free. In Runda where fibre has been widely buried the level of uptake is still very low mainly due to the installation cost and resistance from home owners to have their gardens dug up to lay the cable. As has been realised in the data centre copper still offers a better solution to high-speed connectivity which explains why many switch manufacturers have opted to slow development of higher speeds on their fibre switches and instead are concentrating on increasing performance over copper.

Hi, The only true DSL provider is Telkom/Orange unfortunately they do not seem to be able to leverage this monopoly and instead keep spending energy and resources in a field that they are underdogs. What Telkom/Orange need to do is convert their back haul from multi-pair copper cable to fibre and placing the DSL equipment closer to the consumer. I even prepared and presented to them a proposal on the same, what I was told is that their main area of concentration currently was 3G. If AccessKenya was to realise the benefit of copper they might have a better chance of surviving the oncoming onslaught.

Dear Colleagues, For those following the IGF process and who would be interested in holding workshops at the 6th Meeting in Nairobi, the Call for Workshop Proposals has now been posted on the IGF website www.intgovforum.org Kind Regards, Waudo
I agree with you Edith why should the information be treated as proprietary if they are proud and confident of their product they she shout from the hill tops and roof tops. It is unfortunate that even after more than 5 years KDN only have 180 * 16 = 2,880 ports, why do I bash Telkom with their deadbox service at least they have a higher and wider penetration than their most vocal competitors. Why did I multiply by 16 and not more units per block, because the service is mainly available in the upper end of the City. If you need the service in Umoja, Tena, Buru Buru or Kirinyaga Road too bad even though the density per apartment/flat is 3 to 5 times higher. Ask Multi Choice what happened to their subscriptions when the moved to the mwanainchi locations I apologise if this post seems a little hash but we all can see why the response from KDN was meant to remain offline.

KDN has more than 7,500 ports ready out there in the market. See attached locations Also note that KDN’s Phase1 of the FTTH solution is already deployed in Runda and 75% of the project complete. As I mentioned earlier, KDN’s core business is infrastructure development and we remain committed to that. As for the triple play services, we are partnering with strategic providers to serve the end users. Anybody in this mailing list is welcome to partner with us on such projects Regards Susan m On Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 8:17 AM, robert yawe <robertyawe@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:
