East Africa Finally Obtains Faster Internet

Fiber-Optic lines are arriving in Tanzania in a $650 million dollar project by Seacom to bring East Africa access to broadband. Giving another opportunity than satellite internet in the area may boost education and health care. It also may open up job opportunities that did not exist with the painfully slow internet that plagues Tanzania. It may become like Singapore and India as another outsourcing hub. However, all computer parts are imported and often too expensive. They need locally made computers to take this new opportunity to its fullest potential.

Outsourcing has lost Americans jobs in some tech industries. Companies that outsource do it because of the cheaper cost. Potentially this could effect some people in the IT industry, but hopefully not too many. As someone going into the IT industry, I would not like to lose a job because it's cheaper to outsource. Even so, I wish them nothing but luck in setting up this faster line.
