Seacom project steams on

http://www.itweb.co.za/sections/telecoms/2007/0709131040.asp?A=BSR&S=BestRead&O=FPMR

Seacom denies it is reconsidering laying its East Coast undersea cable and says it is in constant discussions with African governments about the project.

I can see the gov killing all access to SAT3 and just use it for the HD streamings in 2010. Lovely year that would be... because they totally messed up. Does SAT3 in total have enough bandwidth even?

 

[BT6LW]

Preases, the gov will probably use this as an excuse to give sentech more money and then sentech can do all the streaming for the world cup

well-fscking-done Ivy - you've have outdone yourself. I won't be suprised to find Ivy dead in an alley strangled with fibre cable...

Goverment's hands in the cookie jar.

This is why we will stay 3rd world. If goverment (ministers) can't get a piece of the pie, nobody will.

Otherwise she won't get any money out of the request.

Seems to be fairly ironic that international is down at the moment too with "Network Failure" given as the reason -> http://noc.sadomain.com/

Sat3 i think is a 120gig or 130gig cable...
each stadium requires round about 2x20gig,i think they stated a month or 2 ago.

 

[CodeMaster]

But that's full capacity isn't it? Telkom's share of that would be what? 27% or something.

The story published by Balancing Act is not correct. Seacom is not pulling out. I have just confirmed this with Seacom.
