Also interesting is the expected effect on princing: "The cable, according to Dr Ham Mukasa Mulira, Uganda's Minister for ICT, will boost broadband connectivity in sub-Saharan Africa and reduce international connectivity costs by two-thirds."
That is about 60% more ambitious than SEACOM. 2 cables would indeed be wonderfull, some free market economics is barely needed here. (@ McTim, arent the MTNs/UTLs etc not laying inter-national fiber at the moment? Wouldnt that be in preparation of the sea-cables? Come to think of it, wouldnt a sea-cable connection not come to kampala through nairobi? (and to rwanda, through kampala?)
