Neotel uptake beats forecasts

NEOTEL SAYS the uptake of its international capacity has far exceeded its forecasts.

"This bodes well for any new international capacity, such as that of EASSy (the Eastern African Submarine System)," says Dr Angus Hay, executive head - Technology at Neotel. "The demand for this international capacity has been much higher than anticipated, which proves there is a definite need for all the international cables."
