Comments on: Googles Potential Wimax Play in Africa http://www.goingwimax.com/analyse/googles-potential-wimax-play-in-africa/ Wimax technology unleashed, explored and explained by Ari Zoldan, CEO and founder of Quantum Networks Wed, 07 Jan 2009 08:12:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: David Ziggy Lubowa http://www.goingwimax.com/analyse/googles-potential-wimax-play-in-africa/#comment-670 David Ziggy Lubowa Thu, 27 Nov 2008 09:56:06 +0000 http://www.goingwimax.com/?p=170#comment-670 The problem that africa faces is that the most countries are land locked, so satellite transmission has been the norm but because of the latency this has been expensive just to keep a normal service, most african countries are going into laying fibre all around the country and this is also an expensive venture but they figured this to be a solution. I personally feel with the advent of IP Multimedia Subsystem framework , one doesn't need to have fibre to deliver fibre services, wimax can serve the purpose you just have to have a good core network to transmission equipment to air-interfaces. This might not be cheap but it stops all the digging because how much of a country can you dig if you have 6-8 operators.
