I honestly wonder about the success of this cable system. If 
we're looking for capacity between East Africa and the 
Middle East, or parts of Asia, it may make sense. But I 
think those traffic profiles from (East) Africa are few and 
far between.

Suffice it to say, SEACOM already provide branch-off to 
Mumbai, which would be closer to Asia. They also provide 
another option to Fujairah, which would bring about 
competition with TEAMS for capacity to the Middle East.
