West Africa Internet – when will it be fixed?
As many as a dozen countries across West and Central Africa were cut off from the internet and are still experiencing significant connection issues following damage to submarine cables. Now a repair ship is enroute to fix the damage, but it will be some time before services return to normal. What happened, how was traffic rerouted and how will the cable be repaired, are questions that SOEP will answer. Joining us on the show are Alp Toker, Director of Netblocks and Isik Mater, Director of Research at Netblocks, and Paul Brodsky from TeleGeography, who track submarine cables across the world.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Angelica Mari.
