MainOne Deep Sea Survey Vessel Sets Sail From Lisbon
The Main One cable project is reporting that preliminary inshore surveys have been completed for its cable landing in Portugal and that the deep sea survey activities have started with Kommandor Jack mobilised ready for the route from Portugal down to Lagos, Nigeria.
The survey represents the final step in finalizing the cable engineering for the subsea terrain and determines optimal route options and necessary protection required for the cable.

Race to build a West Coast fibre promises to push international bandwidth prices to new lows
Four international fibre projects are racing to complete ahead of each other on the west coast of Africa to give some much needed additional capacity and price competition to SAT3. The drop in bandwidth prices could be spectacular. Russell Southwood looks at the runners in the race and asks whether West Africa is ready for the potentially market-changing impact of cheap international bandwidth
The project remains on target to deliver immense amounts of international bandwidth to West Africa at extremely low prices by June 2010."
