Fiber opic capacity from to Europe to Asia via the African cost has always been 
quite slim by TransAtlantic standards. As I recollect, you have FLAG, SWM3, and 
SWM4. Those systems can push multi-terabits. Capacity is not fundamentally the 
problem, but rather the lack of competition. 

Also you need a vibrantly competitive local loop market in these countries to 
drive undersea capacity demand. You don't have that yet, although it is 
emerging in countries like India.
