The Leadership of the Ministry of Information, Communication Technology and Postal Services headed by Michael Makuei Lueth and his Deputy Dr.Jacob Maiju Korok, is aware of the challenges faced by the telecom operators in delivering quality services, due to a single Fiber cable that is coming from Uganda.
The Ministry is currently working with partners to bring multiple Fiber Optic cables from various locations to address the matter so that the operators would be able to deliver quality and affordable services to the people across the country.
The Ministry together with its parastatals institutions in collaboration with the operators are exerting efforts to connect the rural areas with the Communications services.
Liquid Telecom has begun extending its services to Juba South Sudan, telecoms guru Strive Masiyiwa has revealed.
South Sudan was one of only two countries in Africa with no link to the rest of the world, through Undersea Fibre link.
“We built a 200km link from Uganda’s border. It was tough because of mines and booby traps. The Fibre cable connects with our cables in Uganda, and links to our cables in Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya. At Dar and Mombasa they are now connected to cables going to Asia, Europe, and the Americas!
“Liquid currently has over 75,000 of Fibre networks running through 18 countries. This includes cables from Cape Town to Cairo, and from Port Sudan to Cameroon and Nigeria. A cable running from Cape Town to Kinshasa is set for commissioning later this year. I plan to do Juba’s first Town Hall meeting beamed live by broad band before the end of next month. I’m now planning a trip to Eritrea, the last country with no broadband high speed Internet. “If not us, who? If not now, when?” John F Kennedy,” Strive Masiyiwa posted on Facebook.
