I have no problem with the exchange point. My beef is with the lack of content.
What are we using the IXP for?

Even if the network you (or your services) are on is limited to the Kampala region, you still have a decent route to content and users on other networks in Uganda. On Jul 23, 2013 8:18 PM, "James S.

The first thing all these countries did was develop their INTERNAL networks. Silicon valley became that way because PEOPLE WENT THERE. This means the link from the world to silicon valley SUCKED and so the only way to be a part of it was to GO THERE. Make our country relevant to us and others. Look at China. If the link from china to the world were cut, Chinese people could surf for years using social media without missing the rest of us. Can we say the same of Uganda? There are HUGE parts of Uganda with no internet! There are ISPs with HUGE boasts but with coverage of Kampala ONLY (WTF??). Such people should have their licenses revoked for being redundant.

Its like buying a Bugatti Veyron to test on Kampala road. Currently paying 300k to Orange for 512kbps.. and our ministry with over 250 users has only 5mbps...its a ridiculous.
