There will surely be a price war,regardless of what the ISPs are saying. I had one call me today with double the bandwith at current prices as long as I sign up for 6 months or a year.

In 2 months time,bandwith will be like mandazis.


Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Data service providers are positioning themselves well before the fibre optic goes live. They wanna have bagged as many clients as possible. But surely some current providers are headed for ICU. Alot of current technology in use is about to become obsolete,or is it redundant!!Was just wondering whether it is currently feasible to invest in a 4k worth safcom Bambanet or hang on for a real deal. Love technology.

Life is too short.

Whenever i see contractors doing this works its' AK',kwani Access Kenya ndio wanafanya hii peke yao.

I guess this will be the next EB

GG - last mile should remain as is,except now the bandwidth will be much more and they can allocate more to users - whether wimax,CDMA,FTTH,etc....its really an issue of having international fibre connectivity (and local terrestrial connectivity) from the existing Satellite connectivity which is slower and costs operators more - esp in Africa where low tariffs are important to develop markets. So last mile will remain the same but the opportunities abound in households,education sector for all manner of reasons (e-learning,broadcasting,research,streaming media,etc) - which is why AK,Jamii and KDN are digging up all sidewalks,esp in highly populated and up market areas - they will connect these metro links to either KDN's or TKL's national NW which in turn are going to connect to TEAMS (or SEACOM). Uganda/Rwanda will also connect to TKL/KDN and therefore to SEACOM/TEAMS.



What we can expect in the next 2-4 weeks are major tariff reductions and a hitherto unprecedented beauty contest....

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less
