People have been expecting it far too long than the expected. Seems like it took forever SEACOM finish it. Just wondering what causes or the reasons of its delay. This project is long oeverdue.

Looks like preparations in Malawi were centred around <a href="http://nthambazale.com/2009/02/the-eastern-africa-submarine-cable-system-eassy-not-easy/" rel="nofollow">the EASSY cable</a>, which was conceptualized much earlier than SEACOM, but has been facing severe problems in the implementation phase. It will, however, be ready by next year. What pains me is the fact that other landlocked countries such as Rwanda, Uganda and Ethiopia were able to foresee that the SEACOM cable was going to be completed much earlier than the "difficult" EASSY. They put in place mechanisms that are now enabling them to get connected to the SEACOM cable as soon as possible. As I write, Kampala is connected to the SEACOM cable just like Dar-es-salaam, Nairobi, Mombasa, Durban, Maputo and Johannesburg. Kigali and Addis Ababa will be connected shortly. @Steve: Maybe, we will get connected by November, 2009.
