Fiber comes to Kenya
“We can confirm that all construction on Phase 1 is complete and testing is underway on the fully powered system. I am confident that July 23 will be our ready for service date” said Seacom CEO, Mr Brian Herhily.
Well its finally here.After decades of relying on the expensive satellite links Kenya will soon be having four international fiber connections landing at its coastline from zero in less than an year.Seacoms capacity stands at 1280 Gigabytes rivaling what is offered at West Africa by 10 times.Other fiber optic cables such as TEAMS 40 Gigabytes and EASSy 640 Gigabytes are due to start service soon.
To capitalise on this opportunity companies such as Access Kenya ,for instance, have purchased a total of 2,500 mb of capacity from the Seacom fibre optic which together with a similar amount procured on the TEAMS cable ,will give it a total of 5,000 mb of capacity, a figure that is four times what the entire country (Kenya) already uses.

I like that you separate fate from destiny. There is something to be said for trying to account for the idea that we can sometimes fail to fulfill our destiny.
I like your point VitalikGromovss.
