Africa internet cable 'by 2007' EASSy

About time someone lit a fire.

As far as I'm concerned this should be a government initiative rather than a corporate one - we've all seen how telkom has benefited from Sat3. To me telkom has a vested interest in Eassy failing.

I'm also pleased to see the world bank is prepared to help the kenyan initiative.
Internet traffic in most African countries travels over slow and expensive satellite connections, and an undersea cable could cut costs from some $15 000 per megabyte to as little as $500 over 5 years, Essien said.

Is that the correct terminology? I thought a megabyte was a unit of storage.
