<DIV>Have you two stepped back and reviewed your public statements from a <SPAN>sociological</SPAN>, anthropological and governance point of view?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have either of you read; Das Kapital*, Mien Kompf** or your respective country's declarations of independence? Have you ever considered that wild and crazy notion -- free enterprise?</DIV>
<DIV>Have you ever noticed a general public disdain for gross western globalization and <SPAN>multinationalism</SPAN>?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Gentlemen I do not usually waste my time on people with no promise. So I assume you will not take my questions as insults. They are questions I raise because your comments seem so much like you two believe; Governance is the elite deciding what is best for the commoner.</DIV>

As an enginer I cannot accept such schemes based on short financial views be guidelines in network design. Especially of one keeps in mind what happened -and how many billions were spent without any further use- during the dot.com bubble. Just an example, there were at that time 23 "pan-european networks" existing in parallel and actually some of them are simply forgotten ... If we are to help Africa in its way for development we should be very
careful and "technology and econoy driven" in our proposals especially as OPERATION & MAINTENANCE is the other major problem in any network, and more particularly in Africa than in the RoW. A good design for a network is this one that is resilient, survivable, upgradable, maintenable ... and affordable for the operators over the lifetime. <BR><BR>< In Africa, most of our traffic leaves the continent, as there isn't<BR>> the local content and applications available to keep traffic within<BR>> the continent.<BR><BR>As a friend of Africa I cannot accept this statement.
