EASSy

Due to all of the interest and controversy regarding EASSy, TSA has decided to start a blog specifically focused on East African submarine cable issues.

I think most of the people who may be interested in this blog are well familiar with EASSy and the difficulties the project is facing. I don’t want to spend a lot of time re-hashing what has already been discussed many times in the press and other forums. Instead I plan to report on EASSy developments moving forward. This will supplement what I report in TSA daily email newsletter, TSA NewsFeed.

For those who want to familiarize themselves with EASSy and the problems of bringing submarine cable connectivity to East Africa, the following website will be helpful:
