They want to start selling transit, they announced this at the African Peering Forum. I think their IP infra is ready, just don't know if they have any customers on it yet! > Rather, they manage infrastructure (e.g. undersea cables) which ISPs (e.g. > TATA) use to carry their traffic. It seems they own the infra, and have outsourced the managemnet to TATA IIRC. This allowed TATA to build PoPs in EA cheaply. This means there is now a tier 1 provider selling transit to ISPs in Africa that they don't have to go to Europe or the USA to pick up!! That in itself is revolutionary, and something we have been waiting for for over a decade. > > Think UETCL. > > Tim, feel free to clean up if I've made a mess of things ;) > done, now off to the golf course ;-) -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek.
