The government of Rwanda is seeking to secure bandwidth on the SEACOM submarine cable system according to an article in East African Business Week. Â SEACOM plans to deliver service through New Artel, a state-owned ISP. Â Less than half of the capacity would be used to connect schools, universities and some institutions of the central government. Â The remainder of the bandwidth would be sold to private operators. Â Negotiations have been under way for some time, but as of yet, no contract has been signed.
