Emerging NREN SIG
Fall 2010 Internet2 Member Meeting
Dale Smith, University of Oregon/NSRC dsmith@uoregon.edu or dsmith@nsrc.org
Focus on Sub-Saharan Africa
• Sub Saharan Africa not well connected • Slightly over 1 year ago, we had

– No terrestrial fiber in East Africa – Satellite connections dominate – Bandwidth costs $3000 - $12,000/megabit
• Connectivity is improving rapidly
