John, I think all it has highlighted is we have a single point of failure. The whole link from KLA to Mobasa could in fact be considered a SPF. Once the additional routes are completed via Kigali/TZ and Essy this will problem will disappear. We also do have VSAT capacity for emergency use, but clearly the capacity is not enough.
Please lets now start suggesting anyone get involved in protecting the fibre as that will cause more problems than it will solve. It is however standard practice for key Internet installations (i.e. Telehouse in London) to have serious security and this would not be a bad idea.

(We know they do for TEAMS, as that was the only capacity left, but probably they carry the SEACOM capacity as well, if that is available) Last night, the UETCL fiber was repaired. We are now back to TEAMS only capacity. -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 758 801 749 www.mountbatten.net On Wednesday 14 July 2010 08:22:05 Richard Zulu wrote: > Simon, > > It doesn't seem that way on my side: Did you mean TEAMS connectivity > or Seacom, because both were down.
