The SEACOM boss Brian Herlihy was interviewed (by phone) on ClassicFM last night (around 18.45). He affirmed that all was on track for a June 2009 delivery. He said they have about 30 people in the head-office working on SEACOM full-time, not counting the cable-laying contractors, suppliers, etc.
At one point he said words to this effect: From where I'm sitting here in New York I can see dozens of office building from my office window. The typical New York office building has 20-25Gb/s lines coming in, whereas South Africa currently has a tenth of that for the entire country.
