<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hello Bob,<div>We in Sierra Leone have recently began to experience this as our country embarks massive fibre optics to help upgrade the ICT infrastructure and bring effective communication to the people. There is a little price being paid at the moment. The roads are being dug to help keep the fibre cables underground often causing inconvenience. The pleasant part is knowing that there is a high potential for infrastructural boom in the area of ICT and knowing fully well that access to ICT facilities will no longer be restricted and tenuous.</div>

<div><div><div>Dear Listers,<br><br></div>This is a subject that really troubles me.<br><br></div>Today, Africa is the destination for mega infrastructure projects especially in Roads and Building Construction. "Real Estate Boom" in now a common term in our continent and even bigger in Kenya.<br>
<br></div>But I still don't understand why we would spend a fortune to put up magnificent roads and buildings (of course sewer lines. water pipes and basic drainage along the roads are usually sorted out) and forget to lay fiber cables - the cheapest of the ingredients! In my opinion, this is a mistake that can be stopped!<br>
