36Seacom has blatantly refused to disclose to us, the consumers of the internet, which ISP's have bought the bandwidth from them.Nandà hatramin'ny farany ny hamboraka amintsika, isika mpampiasa Aterineto, i Seacom hoe ISP iza avy no nividy fatran'onja tamin-dry zareo.

40Thanks for the cable.Misaotra tamin'ilay tambajotra.
41But when are going to roll it out in various parts of the country.Nefa rahoviana vao haparitakareo manerana ny firenena io.
42I mean if we have good inter-country connection while we do not have good connection within the country - still the cost will remain high and in my opinion we will be under utilising the capacity of the under sea cable.Ny tiako tenenina dia hoe raha manana ‘connexion' tsara mivoaka ny firenena isika nefa tsy manana ‘connexion' tsara ao anatin'ny firenena - mbola hidangana be ihany ny sandany ary raha amiko dia tsy afaka hitrandraka amin'ny tokony ho izy ny fahafahan'io tambajotra ambany ranomasina io isika.

44For the future, we have to work hard!Amin'ny ho avy, tokony hiezaka mafy isika!

46In a highly publicized and coordinated event SEACOM turned on the switch which instantenously beamed Terabytes of bandwidth at the speed of light through highly polished and engineered strands of glass.Tao amina hetsika novoizina mafy' sy voalamina tsara, nanodina ny bokotra i SEACOM ary nanaparitaka teo no ho eo ireo fatran'onja mahatratra Terabytes toy ny fandehan'ny tselatra tamin'ny alalan'ny ‘fibres optiques' manify raitra dia raitra.
