Seacom Progress

[wikus]

Saw the flash progress indicator at SEACOM's website and thinking it's an awesome and simplistic way of letting people know how the project is progressing

Nothing, the map loads automatically. It's flash. Do you have javascript disabled in your browser? Could also be that your ad blocker is blocking .swf files. Enable both and it should work.

This is very cool... I like the boat thats in the middle of no where... haha.

Seacom is keeping us in the loop whereas no one else is... can't wait!

Ye, I vote for Seacom to sell directly to us as well. They seem to be doing everything right so far.. unfortunately they'll just sell to Telkom and Neotel for us.

 

[ldmelsa]

they'll sell to Telkom and Neotel

And then Neokom will engage in price fixing.
Hope I'm wrong!

ok, so lets all put in cash for a 155MB line, and share it between us ha ha, im up for it, unfortunatly how on earth are we gonna run it from the station to our houses

 

[medicnick83]

Seacom would probably make more money than Neo and Tel together if they just did things themselves.

 

[smokey]

Won't anyone be able to buy from them directly? Neotel is just operating the landing station here. EG: Axxess buys int. bandwidth form Seacom and pipes it direct to your truly via ADSL.

I see they update it regularly...looks like they are giving the exact positions of the ships. 7 Ships in total

I hope they have taken precautions to prevent the ships getting hijacked off the coast of Somalia.

Love to take a tour on one of these ships...could be quite interesting

I still don't understand that link to india.

Guess links to two bandwidth rich countries/continents is better than one

 

[Ou grote]

Why do they have to go past Somalia?
I fear for those little orange boats.

The dates are all still "February" and "March" - this thing hasn't been updated in some time.

I was actually quite close to doing just that. I'm sitting with a metre long undersea optic fibre cable, well , part of it at least, right next to me. Unfortunately things didn't turn out that I could go. From what the guys have told me, it is quite interesting and an adventure.

Threre's only about 2 cm to go still.
