Origins of Africa's arterial Internet veins — An audacious marine-fibre project to reticulate Africa's eastern seaboard
Brian Herlihy (SEACOM | Founder, Black Rhino Group | Founder, and World Economic Forum’s (WEF’s) 192 Young Global Leaders for 2012)
Imagine deciding that you're going to connect Africa to the Internet...then actually going out and doing it! Well, my friend Brian did just that and I managed to catch up with him and capture some of the history of the founding of SEACOM.
He shares the fascinating origins of his endeavour, the challenges of laying a few (hair thin) strands of glass all the way down our eastern seaboard and the challenges of maintaining it all.
Brian also surfaces his thoughts on the present state, and future(s), of the Internet's African topology.
The impact SEACOM has had in Africa, specifically South Africa, has been tectonic; we finally connected to the real Internet backhaul, it collapsed prices, increased bandwidth capacity and performance, and totally altered the economics of our telecoms industry.
The empowering business and human impact Brian's project has had on the continent is perhaps immeasurable; what a legacy, what a story and this is how it all started.
