Re: [Kictanet] 'Cheaper to fly than use ADSL'
Thanks but this has given me another idea.We still have the problem of comparing service providers tariffs across Africa, would it OK to benchmark it against US$ airfares, fares being "commercially" sensitive to respective markets consumers ability to afford travel? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorcas Muthoni" <dmuthoni@kenet.or.ke> To: "Alex Gakuru" <way_forward_tech@yahoo.com> Cc: "Kenya ICT Policy - kictanet" <kictanet@kictanet.or.ke>; <jkrukaria@telkom.co.ke>; <Hkinoti@telkom.co.ke>; <Tasenaji@telkom.co.ke> Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 1:00 PM Subject: Re: [Kictanet] 'Cheaper to fly than use ADSL'

'Cheaper to fly than use ADSL'
If you don't eat or stay over, you could fly to Hong
Kong and download
100 gigabytes of data from the Internet, fly back to
South Africa and
pay less than if you were to download that amount of
information using
Telkom's ADSL service.
Even taking into account the duration of the return
flight, you could be
back in South Africa days before you could complete
the download here.
This is according to Durban software developer
Stuart Gunter, who has
posted on an Internet forum the findings of an
investigation that show
just how internationally uncompetitive Telkom's ADSL
service is compared
to the rest of the world.
