who owns the undersea fibre just answer that...fibre inland must be connected to undersea fibre.....your education system needs to be changed
Some should educate themselves
Kenya, East Africa’s biggest economy, has benefited from being the first country in the region to install fibre-optic cables.
Kenya is served by three undersea cables — the East African Sub Marine System, which runs from Sudan to South Africa, the East Africa Marine System, from Kenya to the United Arab Emirates, and SEACOM, from Kenya to South Africa. Kenya also has terrestrial fibre-optic networks that connect to Uganda and Tanzania
There are over 5000 kilometres of terrestrial cable all around Kenya. KDN has deployed the largest fiber optic network in the region so far. With over 500 Kilometers of Metropolitan fiber optic cable in Nairobi, 50 in Kisumu and Mombasa and 20 in Nakuru, Eldoret and Thika, KDN has the key towns in Kenya covered.
The main backbone across the country, from Mombasa (through Voi, Nairobi, Nakuru and Eldoret) to Malaba (Kenya-Uganda border) was completed in 2006 and KDN has already created redundant links.
The first phase links Malaba to Nakuru through Busia, Kisumu, Kisii, Kericho and Njoro. Then the link from Nakuru to Nairobi is backed up by link through Nyahururu, Nyeri and Thika to Nairobi. The Nairobi to Mombasa leg is backed up by the link through Thika, Garissa, Garsen and Malindi to Mombasa. The fiber optic cable also goes round Mt. Kenya covering the towns of Nanyuki, Meru and Embu.
The East Africa Marine Systems (TEAMS)
This submarine project is a joint venture of the Kenyan government, Emirates Telecommunication Technology (Etisalat) and a consortium of local investors. Its overall goal was to boost internet connections and greatly reduce the cost of telecommunications, especially data transmission in the region. The 4,500 kilometre (2,790 miles) cable links Mombasa on the Kenyan coast to Fujairah.
