Hi pltodms. Thanks for posting this item. I don't know if you had already joined us yet, but for a spell I was tracking African submarine cable developments and posting them here in the forum. It was a vertiginous affair, at best. What, with all of the early-to-midterm reneging of partners, renaming of cables and renegotiated investments, NGO quibblings over public-private, and finally the indecisiveness that led to on-again-off again partnerships and false starts in respect to construction start dates. It all had become too much to track after awhile. At one point I decided to give it a rest, musing to myself that it's probably better to just sit back and wait for the movie, just as many of us did here after a half-dozen years while waiting for FTTH (the access network model, not the poster). So it's actually good to see, after all of this time, that at least one of the East Coast pipes is readying for turn-up. FAC ------
