Oh, plz, if you were willing to pay $2K/Mbps, they'd trench fiber to your house. Still think monopoly pricing is better? Of course, that was 2008. I hear prices have dropped to the Amazingly Low Sum of just $350/Mbps in 2010 - in certain places, if you're lucky, and sign a long term contract. I bet there are 10 people reading this post who will run you a DS3 or better if you sign up for $350/Mbps. -- TTFN, patrick > On Feb 25, 2010, at 9:08 PM, Randy Bush wrote: > >>> Internet connectivity here in 'deepest darkest Africa' is actually quite >>> advanced ;-) >> >> and the most expensive you can imagine. welcome to a telkom monopoly. >> >> randy > >
