EASSy breaks fresh ground

Just a thought... Surely adding more landing stations initially will just result in further delays of the unintended launch?
 
Breaks my heart to see Telkom as an investor in this project.

Lets wait & see who will do SA a favour and actually sell it for cheap. Track records of the top 3 suggest it ain't gonna be by much.
 
Will ISP's only be able to buy bandwidth on EASSy from those four mentioned SA operators? , if this is the case I don't see EASSY being the saving grace for our bandwidth pricing issues
 
I don't know a track record of Vodacom selling international bandwidth? MTN has that SAT-2 link I think, but I don't know much.

Oh well, good to see some progress anyway and if ICASA's actually going to declare some sensible things this millennium with regards to international landing rights and such, we gonna see Telkom crapping in their pants.

Hoping for some love from the French is not asking for too much, is it? :D
 
I mean w.r.t. their existing businesses as is.. there is no real competition between them as such until this yr. I dunno how overpriced voice is in SA but it no doubt is not as much as data.. so reducing it instantly to where it should be would be a miracle

Agreed. :( I am sure there are countless other companies who would front cash for such a venture, but due to the ****ed up state of licensing in our country the same old club gets the dibs first. It sucks!
