Internet: More value for money expected – Seychelles’ second undersea cable is operational

The Seychelles’ second undersea fibre optic cable is now operational and local authorities hope that internet subscribers will get more value for their money.

The chairman of Seychelles Cable Systems (SCS), Benjamin Choppy, who is also the Principal Secretary of the Department of Information Communications Technology, told SNA that based on the new technologies that come with the new cable, people could get more data for the same cost.

Choppy stressed that this is just a trend that SCS is anticipating but cannot speak on behalf of the service providers.

He explained that there are three service providers on the first cable while on the second cable, there are two service providers already connected.

Choppy told SNA that the new cable will greatly enhance Seychelles’ connectivity to the world and ensure minimum interruptions in the future.
