Another very good angle...What is the lifespan of the submarine cable?
Kwa mfano, cable ya EASSy inasemakana itakuwa na lifespan ya 15 to 25 years.
"Commercially, the cable has the lifespan of 15 but it is desirable that it should last for 25 years, depending on the level of maintenance and replacements to be done.
However, 15 years is commercial life span and 25 years is the desired life span. And this is good period of making a return on investment."
Sasa ile ya Zanzibar ilikuwa laid in 1979, leo in 2008, meaning the cable is 29 years old and has exceeded its lifespan? MAINTANANCE is not part of our vocabulary?
