<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 12pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; COLOR: #444444; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">BDC (la compagnie responsable du développement d’Uhurunet, le segment sous marin du Réseau du NEPAD) est parvenue à des avancées significatives dans le développement du câble sous-marin Uhurunet en rejoignant le Consortium ACE. Ce câble sous marin, conjointement développé par BDC et ACE, sera une composante du segment du câble sous-marin Uhurunet qui, circonscrira le continent africain et prendra des dispositions pour connecter tous les pays africains côtiers de même que les îles autour du Continent. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 12pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; COLOR: #444444; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Alors qu’à l’origine le Consortium ACE avait prévu de s’étendre de l’Europe au Gabon, la collaboration avec BDC voudrait dire que le câble sera à présent étendu le long de toute la côte jusqu’en Afrique du Sud et, s’assurera que chaque pays sur la côte Ouest Africaine sera connecté au câble. Le câble sous-marin ACE, dont la longueur dépassera 14 000km, sera opérationnel en 2011. Il intégrera les toutes dernières technologies et, avec un débit minimal de 1, 92Tbit/s, sera donc à même de fournir la connectivite réseau requise pour faire face aux besoins des pays africains. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; COLOR: #444444; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Au préalable, BDC avait signé un Accord Partie d’Ancrage de Station relais avec SENTECH, une entreprise publique sud-africaine agréée à fournir des services de télécommunications en Afrique du Sud. Cet Accord permettra à BDC d’ancrer Uhurunet en Afrique du Sud. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; COLOR: #444444; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">BDC cherche aussi à signer des accords similaires avec des partenaires locaux dans chaque pays ou sera établi des stations relais. BDC envisage aussi la possibilité d’utiliser les stations relais existantes si des accords peuvent être conclus avec les propriétaires de ces dites stations. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; COLOR: #444444; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">On rappelle que l’objectif du Programme des infrastructures TIC du NEPAD consiste à s’assurer que chaque pays africain est connecté à ses voisins par un réseau à large bande passante et, en retour au reste du monde à travers un réseau existant, ou prévu, de systèmes de câbles sous marin. A cette fin, la Commission e-Afrique du NEPAD promeut le développement du Réseau d’Infrastructures à large bande passante du NEPAD, qui consiste en un segment sous marin, Uhurunet et en un segment terrestre Umojanet. <BR><BR>Uhurunet et Umojanet sont développés dans le cadre d’un protocole ministériel signé à Kigali, au Rwanda, en Octobre 2006 sous les auspices de l’Union Africaine. Des capacités en bande passante seront fournies à tous les fournisseurs agréés de services sur une base non discriminatoire et d’accès libre comme stipulé, à cet effet, dans le Protocole de Kigali. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

There is no doubt that the<BR>> Internet renders our decision makers more transparent and accountable<BR>> than ever before.<BR>> <BR>> A new law in Finland gives citizens a right to broadband Internet<BR>> access, and European Union discussions on the ‘Telecoms Package’ have<BR>> resulted in a decision that a user’s internet access may be<BR>> restricted, if necessary and proportionate, only after a fair and<BR>> impartial procedure including a right to be heard and to judicial<BR>> review.<BR>> <BR>> What does this mean? With over 1.6 billion users worldwide, the<BR>> Internet has become important if not vital for everyday life. It has<BR>> revolutionised the way we connect with each other across boundaries of<BR>> time, distance, culture, and experience. Online we share ideas, we<BR>> build knowledge and understanding, we challenge conventional wisdom,<BR>> and we create networks for positive change. Much of this is thanks to<BR>> the private sector for having the foresight, belief and courage to<BR>> invest in the development of innovative services and technologies,<BR>> many of which are free of charge.<BR>> <BR>> Access to the Internet is no longer a luxury but a necessity. It can<BR>> empower people living below the poverty threshold. It is a tool for<BR>> democracy that can counter heavy-handed governments. Millions of us<BR>> now have a legitimate expectation that Internet services should be<BR>> accessible, affordable, secure, reliable and ongoing.<BR>> <BR>> For the younger generation, the Internet is first and foremost their<BR>> opportunity. It is their primary source of freedom and information in<BR>> growing-up. It must not be presented as a dark place signposted with<BR>> danger and caution.<BR>> <BR>> The very moment we enter the Internet highway we unwittingly leave<BR>> traces of personal data for others to see and to use. When we click to<BR>> accept the terms and conditions of Internet services we are often<BR>> obliged to provide personal data without knowing what will happen to<BR>> that data. Whether the solution will be with global privacy laws or a<BR>> big red delete button on services remains to be seen. At the very<BR>> least, our children, as digital natives, should be able to remove<BR>> their traces. After all, children have the right to a childhood like<BR>> we, the digital immigrants, had before the Internet.<BR>> <BR>> With 60 years of experience, and thousands of European Court of Human<BR>> Rights judgments, the 47 governments of the Council of Europe play a<BR>> crucial role in watching over inter alia our freedom of expression and<BR>> our right to privacy, including on the Internet. Together with<BR>> governments and the private sector, the Council of Europe is shaping<BR>> Internet policy in Europe and beyond, establishing baselines and<BR>> benchmarks.<BR>> <BR>> Let me be clear. Freedom of expression is not an absolute right; it<BR>> must be balanced with other rights. That’s the way we see it in<BR>> Europe. Freedom comes with responsibility. This extends to examining<BR>> the responsibilities of businesses that provide technologies and<BR>> services which penetrate and dominate the market so much that there is<BR>> no natural alternative.<BR>> <BR>> The European Convention on Human Rights protects the individual from<BR>> abuses by the State. In the Internet age, governments and private<BR>> sector must cooperate to make sure that individuals are protected from<BR>> abuse by state and non-state actors in cyberspace too.<BR>> <BR>> So what about the management of resources indispensable for the<BR>> functioning of the Internet? What happens, for example, if a<BR>> government or powerful corporation decides to cut off, slow down or<BR>> otherwise to interfere with another country’s access to the Internet?<BR>> Discussions about the so-called internationalisation of the Internet<BR>> Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) go in the right<BR>> direction. Much more needs to be discussed and worked out.<BR>> <BR>> But it will only be by working together – businesses, the<BR>> international community, international and multi-state organisations<BR>> and individual states – that there will be effective responsibility,<BR>> freedom and protection of our human rights when going online.

Killime, le RASCOM est un réseau de connectivité qui permet de faciliter la connexion entre les pays africains mais également de réduire les pertes énormes liées aux installations de réseaux internet.<BR>> « C’est l’occasion d’exhorter tous les pays membres à se connecter au très convoité réseau de connectivité africaine. Ce faisant, nous œuvrons tous pour la réalisation de l’aspiration des africains à intégrer la société de l’information », a-t-il souligné.<BR>> Il a révélé que le RASCOM a récemment créé un réseau de connectivité entre plusieurs pays africains afin de renforcer le réseau électronique panafricain qui, selon lui, s’inscrit dans la dynamique de la coopération entre l’Inde et l’Afrique par le biais de l’Union Africaine.<BR>> Par ailleurs, M. Killimi a indiqué que le RASCOM par le biais de la société Rascomstar_QAF est en train d’accomplir sa tâche en fournissant un satellite à l’Afrique, à titre commercial.<BR>> Il a révélé qu’en Afrique, il y a un seul abonné fixe à large bande pour 1000 personnes, contrairement à l’Europe avec 2200 souscripteurs pour 1000 personnes.<BR>> L’Afrique, poursuit-il, a le plus faible taux de pénétration d’internet dans le monde et dépense plus de 500 millions USD par an pour la mise en place de réseaux internet au niveau local.<BR>> Selon lui, « aujourd’hui, nous vivons dans la société de l’information globale où la communication et le savoir constituent des outils vitaux pour la création de richesses et de prospérité sur le continent ».<BR>> Il a exprimé sa gratitude à l’endroit de l’Union Africaine pour le rôle qu’elle a joué dans la création de cette plateforme ainsi que sa volonté politique en appuyant les projets du RASCOM.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Source : itmag.sn<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> > Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2009 17:29:35 +0200<BR>> > From: africann-request@afrinic.net<BR>> > Subject: AfrICANN Digest, Vol 34, Issue 19<BR>> > To: africann@afrinic.net<BR>> > <BR>> > Send AfrICANN mailing list submissions to<BR>> > africann@afrinic.net<BR>> > <BR>> > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<BR>> > https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/africann<BR>> > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<BR>> > africann-request@afrinic.net<BR>> > <BR>> > You can reach the person managing the list at<BR>> > africann-owner@afrinic.net<BR>> > <BR>> > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<BR>> > than "Re: Contents of AfrICANN digest..."<BR>> > <BR>> > <BR>> > Today's Topics:<BR>> > <BR>> > 1.

may look well intended on the face but also one that could either be ill-informed or driven by latent rationale if the arguments set forth in the media is anything to go by.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Contrary to the global best practice where governments support the existing IXPs run and managed by the industry, the new effort by the government is largely viewed by the industry as being unnecessary and inefficient use of its resources if not an escapist approach on prioritising and tackling the key industry concerns by the ministry.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Ranking top among the raison d'etres by the ministry to install Government Internet Exchange Point (GIXP) was the need to enhance network security among its peer agencies and mitigate against any threats of malicious hackers or data miners that most advocates would ignorantly want to attribute to third party routing connections.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Amazingly, it is only this year that KIXP was actually ranked as the third fastest growing IXP globally based on the amount of its handled traffic, this being largely as a result of the activities by its peering members to grow internet use within the country and address the concerns of customers for a more secure online environment.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > With an estimate of Sh30 billion worth of business transactions handled via the KIXP on a daily basis, the security of the infrastructure and its content can never be overemphasised.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Through the facility the general public is able to access government services through various existing ISP who together with government peer at a central IXP.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Indeed as correctly posited here before, with no solid details on how the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) intends to institute security features that include deep packet inspection or demonstration of the government's capacity to develop its own data encryption, many in the know will still agree that security is easily a function of post infrastructure and human resource development.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > This means that by having a peering point alone the agencies will not be fortified against any potential security problems if other aspects are not adequately addressed.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Others have actually pointed out that the majority of security problems highlighted by the government come from within an organisation, rather than from any external sources.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Contrary to any misconstrued belief of a Public Private Partnership arrangement or management of the venture, KIXP was essentially established in 2000 by the Telecommunications Service Providers Association of Kenya (TESPOK) as a value add service to its members and is therefore solely owned by TESPOK.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > It operates as a licensed service and is the only Regulator Licensed Internet Exchange Point in Africa.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Currently the Kenya Internet Exchange Point has back up locations at Chancery Building with Internet Solutions and Mombasa at the SEACOM landing station.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Prior to the massive investment that saw its establishment as Kenya's pioneer internet exchange point, all local traffic was exchanged in Europe and USA.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Today internet users are benefiting not only from a more than tenfold reduced latencies, but also from a reduced monthly cost for Inter ISP transit.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Additional benefits include ISPs Savings resulting from the delayed need to upgrade international capacity links as well as improved local connectivity through fibre optic and high speed wireless (FSO) connectivity.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > As a result this has encouraged more local content as it became cheaper.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Currently, there are 28 peering members and others still working on their joining requirements.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > It will be helpful to note that KIXP provides direct connections to members of the industry and organisations handling critical services of benefit to the general public.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > All other entities not licensed by the communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) must go through the existing operators in line with current CCK regulations.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) for instance through its online Customs Clearing System also known as "Simba System" makes use of the KIXP for efficient service delivery.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > The Simba System alone which has been estimated to collect an average of half a billion Kenya Shillings daily is heavily dependent on the KIXP.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > The new Integrated Tax Management System (ITMS) is also heavily supported by KIXP to reach the ordinary end user who has to file returns online through their respective ISP.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Currently measures have already been taken with regard to ensuring the security of the Kenya Internet Exchange Point as a key and strategic communication resource for the country.<BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > <BR>> > > > Asonga is CEO, Telecommunications
