What about alternatives where international bandwidth is of a concern besides SAT3?
 
Other submarine cable systems such as EASSy and SEACOM might provide a way out but not over the short and medium term.
 
‘Neotel is also involved in EASSy, but this is not the only SAT3 alternative in the pipeline and they are also involved with SEACOM. SEACOM is a new proposed cable which will follow the same route as the EASSy cable down the eastern seaboard but it will either connect internationally directly into Italy or India via VSNL’ (Neotel plans for bandwidth needs, MyADSL, 16 April 2007).
 
In other words, Neotel is involved with at least two submarine cable projects that may serve as alternatives to SAT3 over the long term.
 
What will be the best short term solution for Neotel?
 
Non-exclusive access on SAT3.
 
‘Non-exclusive access on SAT3 will definitely be the best short term solution for more affordable international bandwidth access for them, but it is clear that they are looking beyond SAT3 for their future needs’ (Neotel plans for bandwidth needs, MyADSL, 16 April 2007).
 
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) wishes Neotel the best of luck in their endeavour to secure adequate bandwidth capacity.
