At the moment there are technologies that can provide wireless broadband using the mobile telephone infrastructure in place. I recently configured my motorolla phone to do exactly that with download speeds of mor e than 1 mbps real time but with connectivity of 11 mbps faster than the dongle (7.2 mbps). when will Ugandans ever learn to move as fast as the rest of the world? The pace of development is so slow, some of us who wish to return are discouraged by this lack of vision and innovation but most of all a lack of infrastructure to support what ever ideas we have in mind. - Christopher Mwaka Tue, 25 Aug 2009 01:57:47 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/business/business-news/54-business-news/1424-broadband-for-uganda-the-inside-story#comment-17622 Before u judge based on the cost of the fiber you should ask yourself what was involved in the respective projects. Price alone is deceptive and you should look at the scope of work that was involved. $38m for 2300km ($16/meter) is a very low price and I doubt the vendor made any profits on it considering the Rwandan terrain. At the time Uganda lay out fiber, the feasible cost was more than twice that and when u factor in the fact that the Ugandan govt was also supplied with a switching center equivalent to what the operators have then the price though a bit high is fair. You need to do better research on that my friends - Ateenyi Tue, 11 Aug 2009 09:56:21 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/business/business-news/54-business-news/1424-broadband-for-uganda-the-inside-story#comment-17604 Uganda is full controversies, what is the different between Rwanda and Uganda in terms of land structure, i mean Rwanda lays 2,300Km for only $38 Millon and Uganda which is less by 70Km is $106 million does that mean that our land is too rocky and hilly or this is suppose to feed the big fish in government...? I also think that the government doesn't have money for phase IV because the contractors are try to request for much so as to meet their goals and get the contract because they have to bribe, its like this whole road contracts... The big fish in government are messing with our MOTTO, its says for GOD AND MY COUNTRY... NOT... FOR GOD AND MY STOMACH... God bless Uganda and flush corruption... - Robin Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:00:11 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/business/business-news/54-business-news/1424-broadband-for-uganda-the-inside-story#comment-17454 I wonder if they are keeping in mind the schools upcountry that can benefit from the extension of phase 4.

You can do your best to keep them impoverished, uneducated and backward but you can never do that for ever one day you will pay for it be in this world or in the next world!! - Cris Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:33:46 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/business/business-news/54-business-news/1424-broadband-for-uganda-the-inside-story#comment-17375 How can it be that government has no money for phase IV of the project which covers northern and eastern Uganda? The money is there and this is yet further evidence of deliberate marginalization of northern Uganda by the NRM. The money is there for an expensive presidential jet, money is wasted through corruption but when it comes to providing money for serious projects that will benefit the people in northern Uganda, then we hear excuses! - Akhenaten Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:36:57 +0100
