Birth of the Internet
Even this post has nothing do to with Cisco, Juniper or other great products, I strongly believe that has to do with the idea of “network”. I don’t know how many remember that on 29th of October 2009 we celebrate 40 years from the birth of Internet. I have to admit that I didn’t remember, but reading an article on CNN made it all clear.
From CNN’s webpage post one phrase remain in my mind: “On October 29 of that year, for perhaps the first time, a message was sent over the network that would eventually become the Web. Leonard Kleinrock, a professor of computer science at the University of California-Los Angeles, connected the school’s host computer to one at Stanford Research Institute, a former arm of Stanford University.”
I invite you to read CCN’s article and think for a second what Internet means and how much it helped for the global human development.

Undersea cable connect east Africa to high speed networks
An undersea cable plugging east Africa into high speed Internet access went live Thursday, providing an alternative to expensive satellite connections.
The cable links southern Africa to Europe and Asia.
SEACOM, the cable provider company, opened its 17,000 kilometer submarine cable, capable of 1.28 terabytes per second, allowing the region true connectivity.
Most Africans rely on expensive and slow satellite connections, which make the use of applications such as YouTube and Facebook extremely trying.
“This is going to reduce the cost of doing business in Africa, within Africa and with international parties” said Suveer Ramdhani, SEACOM spokesman in South Africa.
