SEACOM African Undersea Cables
After reading the news I almost dropped my morning ‘chai’ and awaited further confirmations from my fellow African bloggers. Whiteafrican blogged a piece on “reactions“, whereas Appfrica blogger Joshua Goldstein blogged about “Fung Fu“.
Joshua blogged “In the corner of a conference room, Peter Moreton, a procurement manager for SEACOM, beckoned me over to a display computer with YouTube queued up. We launched Kung Fu baby and for the first time in Africa, I saw a YouTube video load completely and play in 6 seconds. We ran a speed test and showed 1.8mbps, 10x what we have in the Appfrica office.”
Now what? That is the question. What do we do from now. Is the dream of a silicon valley in Africa going to be realized?
Lets see what happens.

Over the past few months I have been getting actively involved with the African tech scene and the time has almost come for me to launch the website associated with this endeavor. A company has been born and it is time for it to spread its wings and fly. A tentative launch date has been set for June 24th. Which is also the day Transformers 2 will be released. I am a huge Transformers fan, not to mention a huge Megan Fox fan too.

Most of you have heard not of me. My name is Sid (short for Siddharth). Some of you may have seen me around on twitter or facebook, or many other social sites and some may have no clue who I am. This will be a little introductory post so you can get some background on me and get to know who I am. (more…)
