Fiber optic cables hit Kenya

Fiber optic cables hit Kenya

Commentary in the Economist last week about the three undersea cables that are FINALLY getting connected in Kenya. East Africa may  the last highly populated area on earth that has been getting by with slow and expensive satellite internet. The new cables, the first of which is due to come online very soon, should dramatically improve speed and dramatically lower the price of access. I expect that Kenya, with its big English-speaking population, will make a name for itself with call centers and related offshoring activities.

Of course, we're particularly eager to see the new systems come online since our development office in Nairobi has been getting by on slow cellular modems (which use the satellite internet, of course): not enough even for a good Skype voice call. With the new cables, we're hoping that we can jump straight to good video connections.
