International Internet Connections
Posted: 11 May 2011, 16:14
Hi Guys,
As you all probably know that 3G across our borders are, well, hidiously expensive... coming in a +-R50 p/mb for countries next door, and +-R110 for any other country. The only exception to this is if the Service provider has a deal with a provider in the other country. Ok these are the vodacom rates I do not know the others, however I cannot imagine it being much different.
So I received a call from a Director who was unhappy that he did not have internet Access in Kenya, and then was instructed to find a solution for his international internet connectivity needs. I do not know anything else than obviously the following idea's
- Buy a pay as you go simcard for your 3G modem for that country.
- Use hotel or local internet connections
- Satelite links.
I cannot think of anything else I can really do, and I know it is definitely out the question to wrack up a R1000+ bill to check a few emails. Do you guys know anything more about Satelite links? Do you know of any other connectivity options that I am missing out.
Regards
Cupii
