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

[John Walubengo]

Also, Satellites will remain around because they do have
their unique applications mainly in intelligence gathering
(e.g for Weather Predictions, Geographical Mappings, Space
Research, Military intellegence, etc).  

These things, Bill, you will agree cannot be done by
optical fiber and that is why the rich nations shall
continue investing in satellite technologies.

However on the communication side of things, the satellite
route is a distant 2nd to Optical fiber.
