It would be interesting to prepare a map similar to the one on
manypossibilities.net which I believe was posted here earlier.
http://manypossibilities.net/african-undersea-cables/
Showing the connectivity within Kampala, to the border, to Mombasa and
the diversity of the different providers.
Should be possible with the combined information posted on the list by now.
Anyone interested? I am not that much of a graphic guy.
Regards,
Rocco

Bernard,
Right now there are only two functioning fiber cables that run from Kampala to
the KE border:
1. UETCL
2. MTN
MTN buys cores on UETCL and uses their own as an alternate. Everyone else
relies on UETCL.

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.
Kind regards,
Bernard

I'm not sure we need to govern everything that becomes a
"critical" Internet resource. Rather, I suggest taking
steps to reduce this resources importance by encouraging
the development of alternate dark fiber to Malaba or
wherever.
Alternate dark fibre is gravy.
Alternate path will do just fine, thank you very much :-).
Mark.
