I hope with this comes security of data transmission. We need computer geeks who will protect others from computer hackers.Then we can enjoy internet reality in Kenya.
tonyfingures... What different formats? Did you mean the resolution-720 & 1080? Right now they're selling in Nairobi the 1080 full HD TVs 16:9 just like in ng'ambo. Check Luthuli Ave stores and Nakumatt. I believe Mnet/Dstv or other corporations will stream the hd to wananchi because it's already in the fiber optic (video/internet).
Finally a light at the end of the tunnel. This firbre optic cable can do a lot for many kenyans and bring down the price of a lot of things that many people have over priced for years. But lets not forget, curruption does reign supreme. lets hope that monopolistic pricing practices don't happen.communication cost will reduce significanlty and jobs zitacome but as for the HD signals, mta ngoja. It will take yrs for this to be done & BTW, kuna different formats of HD. Don't go buying HD sets yet
Lol nobody should own anything. did you see what happened with Safaricom shares? If you sifu tembo too much hulitia maji. Safaricom shares trade at ksh 2.50 . The goons of Mobitelea... People really got chewed. The same will happen with the fiber Optic. It will be a huge hit but always corruption reigns supreme.
Unlike other African countries, Kenya is blessed with a huge wealth( Well educated population who speak the worlds only language (English) If the government is serious about creating employement, It should use this high speed bandwith to outsource work from Europe and the US. India did the same thing. Lets not understimate the power of fibre optics. the least should be HD TV. First things first.
TetuaMaana... Less than 1% of the population in Africa have access to broadband connectivity. The fiber-optic cable now in Kenya will link 21 countries in Eastern and Southern Africa --- including South Africa.
Call centres will kick off like crazy because we have an educated population and softer accents.
I really hope Kenyans will be behind the businesses though..

This is the best news from Kenya so far. At least a project that has finished on time in Kenya. Now broadband internet is a reality in Kenya.
