[afnog] Consortium Structure of East African Submarine Cable System Questioned

[Colin Johnston]

Hi Brian et all,

Great read.

I would question why transit costs into a UK or USA peering point would be
necessary. The UK Gov or USA Gov might as well make the transit cost free
since it would allow expensive embassy satellite links to be used less.
Africa packet usage to UK/USA would be 1% to 2% compared to EU/USA usage.

If it is explained to UK/EU/USA politicians that allowing Africa to
participate better with a permanent infrastructure then it could be said it
is better than food aid since you can build on something.
