EASSy mum on project progress

@rpm, maybe one or more of the South African shareholders in the EASSy cable consortium will be willing to comment...?

Highly unlikely. All hidden behind closed agreements – that is if they actually know exactly what is happening. We will do our best to find out though :D
 
To this the EASSy consortium merely replied that they do not wish to comment on these questions at this time.

or Ivy will have something to say

Doesn't surprise me that EASSy has a closed door policy considering that Telkodemonopolies is an EASSy shareholder AFAIK, and we all know how secretive the SAT-3 bandwidth illuminati consortium is with Telkodemonopolies at its helm...:rolleyes:

PS: It seems the TEAMS cable is about to start its construction phase - not that TEAMS comes close to SA, but it is another East African cable.

I reckon Dept. of Constipation will spin this as vindication for pulling out of EASSy and further motivation for the Nepad cables.

Hmmm what NEPAD cable(s)? - AFAIK there has been no news about the NEPAD submarine cable for about 2 or 3 months - all went dead quiet after SEACOM and EASSy said they were going full steam ahead - I suspect that Poison Ivy & Stalin-Mafole have quietly scrapped the whole idea.

There also hasn't been a peep [AFAIK] about the fabled Infraco cable to Brazil.

Maybe they've hit some sort of bump in the ocean and can't fix it, or their workers are striking or something really dof.

Hey, anythings possible... maybe Telkom have sabotaged it! haha.
 
Seacom FTW!!!

(that's the most constructive i can get after midnight ;) )

Sadly we need both SEACOM and EASSy to inject some much needed international bandwidth competition and redundancy as well as lower latency to some locations.
 
usally if they go quiet there is something wrong
