An examination results SMS application that was launched late last year and used for the first time in January this year by pupils to receive their primary leaving exam results cause quite a discussion on the I-Network list. Highlights of the discussion are available . The key issues arising were the privacy of the information and the cost of accessing information.

One of the agreed mechanisms mandates I-Network to collect issues from ICT stakeholders and give these to the ministry to look into and provide answers and or positions on the issues raised.

Hallo I- Netters
Am a specialist in fiber optic systems and would like to comment on the following paragraph from the press release
6. It is terribly misleading to compare the costs of laying the cable between Uganda and Rwanda. The Terrain and the specifications are totally not similar. Because of different terrain and distances spanned by the Cable, different transmission technologies have to be deployed. For the NBI/EGI Project in Uganda, the Dense Wavelength and Division Multiplexing (DWDM) was used to facilitate the transmission of video signals over long distances. For a span over shorter distances a transmission technology called Synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) is usually employed. This is deployed at a lower cost than the DWDM.
the ministry should not try to confuse the public wiht technological acyronms, the choice of SDH or DWDM has nothing to do wiht distance rather the capacity, SDH is limited to STM64 or 10Gb/s while DWDM is n*10Gb/s and actually relies on SDH for framing etc as DWDM is really at the physical layer of the OSI protocal stack, to be honest DWDM just allows one to transmit/receive several SDH signals at 10Gb/s.
