Mark, I believe the telcos have alternate paths on the major routes (microwave, underground fiber, etc), but because their core business is voice, data tends to get sacrificed in cases such as these.
My view of Uganda telco economics: Voice = pay per second Data / Internet = pay per month (you will not even recall the 2 day outage) That aside, as the equation changes and data/internet comes to the fore, we should begin to see some improvements.
