dc.description.abstractThe launch of the USD130-million East African Marine Cable (TEAMS) system in Kenya was as much a symbolic as practical event. It was symbolic on a number of levels, most obviously when Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki referred to it as a “nation-building” tool, a statement suggesting more than economic development, following on the country’s bloody election clashes last year. But it is also symbolic because it heralds the real dawn of 21st century connectivity; the beginning of a new converged communications landscape that the now outdated policy and legislative developments of the1990s have struggled to keep up with.en
