Jean-Louis and All,<br><br>
My point for supporting Avri was on the same issue that you have
mentioned. I have marked it bold inside your text. And, will be happy to
discuss further in resolving these issues, especially in developing
countries.<br><br>
Thanking you,<br>

I'd just mention that I know something about (submarine) cables and
telecom networks since I's practiizing them at high level (from design to
implementation to operation and management for more than forty years. And
I do know very well the engineering rules and their application,
including traffic planning and management. Furthermore I know large
regions in Africa because I was a Project Coordinator for the ITU during
twenty years. This is to say that I'd not fall into the trap Avri and
Hakik suggest in their mail (see below). <br><br>
Of course, landlocked countries will be served by the submarine cables
and add their extra-continental (both incoming to, and outgoing from,
Africa) traffic to the submarine cable landing countries one. At the
condition a cable exists to connect these countries to each other.
<b>Unfortunately this is far from being achieved in all countries
concerned.</b> What's more the capacity installed in three submarine
cables is sufficient for transporting this extra-continental traffic for
ten years to come (see

<br>
Finally as you may know, an investment that is postponed is a resource
saved and translates in financial revenue. That's why I believe my
statement is valid.<br><br>
