There is much hype on the availability of internet even at home. This revolution, we really need to have it protected from the politicians hijacking, claiming it as their project.<br>Talking about electricity, I view that in order to make the fibre optic cable, there is a need to make the project a multi-sectoral approach. By this I mean, different ministries (Communications, Energy, Industrialization, Trade etc), private sector ( corporates, Banks etc) Telcos( Safaricom, Zain, Orange and Yu) etc, should be on the forefront to make the cable have an impact to the majority of the people. I haven ot heard, or seen any of the directly beneficiaries of the fibre optic cables informing there end-consumers on what id expected of them from this revolution. (I stand to be corrected on this)<br>
<br>Aggressive information to the masses is important so that we don't get caught with our pants down, before the SEACOM and EASSY Cables land!<br><br>My thoughts!<br><br>Regards, <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/7/1 Stephen Mwangi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:smwngi@gmail.com">smwngi@gmail.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">It a great step in the right direction. however can we ensure that it doesn't end up like the railway system. We know its there but how many of us actually use it today? Now that we have it can we work on the electricity? Push to get power in our homes, offices etc 24/7/365. <br>

I don’t think anyone said that he commissioned the cable as obviously it needs to tested and go through a period of stabilization and powering. This will take some time. I do not have the most accurate figure yet but it’s about 8 to 10 weeks before handing over to Teams for acceptance testing.</span></font></p>
