Some governments in East Africa are stockpiling business capacity in anticipation of the four submarine cables that are expected to bring unprecedented connectivity options and related business opportunities to the region, according to a study by IDC.
"For example, Kenya is already subsidizing communications costs for business process outsourcing providers and establishing a BPO zone," said Francis Hook, IDC East Africa regional manager. "This ensures that there will be a supply of labor in place once cheaper and more reliable broadband arrives."
Governments in the region hope to use the new capacity to transform their economies, and land infrastructure projects abound as governments lay cable to bring capacity in from the coast, an especially important project for landlocked nations, Hook noted.
