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

[jmunsaka]

Dear All

The opportunities that exist in rollling our fibre in the region
should not be underestimated.

Here is one chance we have to have reliable service in the region
whose impact will make the satellite people rethink their pricing to
the region as they will have competition..ie we shall have a choice
at least unlike the case now

Nice day

John
