Rwanda should fast track access to fibre optic

Government officials have reported that the country’s commitment to connect all corners of the country with the 2000 Km fibre optic loop is on course.RDB-IT officials reported early this week that in 18 months, the country would be blessed by a fully functional Internet backbone of fibre optic material. The provision of the fibre optics infrastructure is in line with the government's vision of becoming a regional Information Communication Technology (ICT) hub.There are quite a number of ICT initiatives to be accomplished during the same period. Internet users in Kigali City are meant to be connected by a highly demanding broadband wireless technology called Wibro, to be built by Korea Telecom.
