I want to sell enterprise grade DSL to businesses who demand a reasonable 10mbps guaranteed. This is a very common scenario. If I split my gigabit link up to 10megabit customers, the most I can fit on it and guarantee their performance is 100 customers. If we take our cost to buy just the transit, ignoring any of the related costs, we’re going to run $40-80/customer.

Government should be laying fibre everywhere or at least subsidizing the people that do.

I don't think we need more of Govmnt's fingers in the telecoms pie.

Its a good thing when many companies Neotel, Telkom(some Gvmnt), Dark Fibre Africa are laying fibre.
