The Seychelles recently saw the launch of the country's second Internet Service Provider (ISP). Kokonet claims to employ state-of-the-art technology and aims to encourage wider use of the Internet in the Seychelles.
Kokonet, which is jointly owned by Space 95, Mauritian group Blanche Birger Limited as well as some staff members, is connected to the Internet backbone through a VSAT gateway. Initial bandwidth of 2 Mbps/512 Kbps is being used, more than doubling the bandwidth available to Internet users in the country.
Customers have available a choice of different technologies to link to Kokonet - dial-up, digital leased line and wireless. With dial-up services, there are two digital ISDN lines and a further one has been ordered from Telecom Seychelles (TS). Customers will also have the possibility of accessing the Kokonet network through digital leased line circuits offered by the local telecommunications providers.
Cable & Wireless (Seychelles) Ltd had intended to take up a share in Kokonet on its launch, but press reports would indicate that it has now abandoned plans to do so.
