Nokia and Fibertime work together to expand South African broadband access

Malaysian broadband operator Time dotCom announed on Tuesday that it has started upgrading its existing Time Fibre Home customers with a permanent speed boost of at least 200 Mbps that it says will deliver a better online experience.

Singapore-based asset manager Keppel is reportedly in talks with Vietnamese conglomerate Sovico Group to develop a subsea fibre cable linking their respective home countries to meet regional demand for data centre capacity.

The 45,000 kilometre 2Africa subsea cable systems interconnecting Europe, Asia and Africa is back in the news again, this time thanks to an announcement from Telecom Egypt and Cisco.
