[kictanet] Vandalism menace

[muriuki mureithi]

Esther 
The kplc fibre is up in the sky - you can dare to climb and   cut it once
but  you will not live to cut another fibre !! ----- that is the ultimate
deterrence 

Cable breakage will never cease for varied reasons   - cable operators
should build redundancy  through self healing rings  as a long term measure.
It is the standard.
Cheers 
MM

Now that we are talking of vandalism, how does the KPLC fibre work? It is
underground or over the wire poles? Some 'electrocution' (as suggested by
one of the members...:-)) would teach the thieves some lesson!!!

Which beggars the question -- wouldn't it be cheaper in the long run
to fix the underlying problem -- restricting physical access to the
cabling -- once and for all?

Why can't all the stakeholders come together and pool resources and
come up with some sort of tunnel infrastructure with smart card
controlled access hatches and service tunnels where all these cables
are encased in the physical security of concrete?

And no, the usual card of appealing to government need not be played.

Let the players take initiative. It's in their own best interest.
