[Kictanet] Why do we need International Optical FiberConnectivity?- 1 Day Discussion

[Kagwe James]

1.Based on fiber optic cables which are harder to tap or eavesdrop thus
more secure. 
2. Possible to have voice, data and video ride on without significant
quality deterioration.

Hey!

12hrs are ending without an input on the 1st and easier
theme! The silence is too loud! to reduce it, here is why I
think we need international optical submarine connectivity
(as opposed to Satellite).

1. It is more reliable than satellite connectivity
2. It is much more faster (i.e) delay time from one
continent to the other is less.
3. It has unlimited bandwidth capabilities and by extension
4. It tends (should) be cheaper to buy per Megabit.

Anything I may have left out? Brian, Mucheru and others?
Plse clarify, object or add.
