Welcome submarine cable

It is now up to us to reap the benefits. We have made some progress in the information and the telecommunication sectors, but in order to make the most of the recently installed facility, we need to further enhance our all-round capacity in the sector. We have to further develop technical and management expertise for an optional utilisation of the new opportunities. There are as many as 16 parties involved in the consortium of 14 countries straddling of three continents. We shall have to have constant proactive communication and coordination amongst the collaborating partners in order to ensure best benefits for the country, particularly in terms of equitable and just prices for the various services offered. Besides, in order to get the fullest benefit we shall have to increase and extend our telecom networks across the country through the highway capacity fiber optic and microwave links.

To our mind, being part of the submarine cable networking has been one of the best things to take place in the country for sometime which should not only bring about a host of benefits for the country but also make us known to the international world of communication highways. It is now up to us make to use of the enormous access. There is no reason why we should not be able to do that with will, commitment and vision.
