This document discusses the affordability and viability of satellite connectivity in Africa. It summarizes that the company operates regional ISPs under two brands, has a support team in Nairobi, and acquired regional ISP assets in 2013. It states that satellite provides alternatives for mobile backhaul and last mile connectivity. The customer wants availability, accessibility, and affordability of services. Satellite connectivity costs have reduced over time and expanded the potential market outside of cities. New high throughput satellite systems are expected to further lower costs and increase uptake of satellite services.

TNS Pioneer Cellular Case Study December 2016TNSIMarketing
Pioneer Cellular is working with TNS to establish an LTE roaming network. This includes joining the TNS LTE Roaming Hub, gaining access to a large, seamless footprint that extends across the US and many international areas, including Europe and the Asia Pacific region.
Satellite Backhaul has historically allowed MNOs to expand their coverage. However, these opportunities were
traditionally restrained to very remote locations, driven by government incentive programs. Satellite was perceived
as a slow, expensive and cumbersome solution, able to capture a mere 1.7 percent of global installations of base
stations (2019 Satellite Market Share by BTS Backhaul Technology).
The demand for bandwidth is soaring worldwide. More people in more places are connecting for work,
entertainment, social communication, and education, and they’re increasingly using mobile phones, tablets,
and other easy-to-carry devices. And in many developing parts of the world, mobile phones are often the only
internet-access technology that’s both affordable and available.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. Understanding our Group
Our regional ISPs operate under two main brand names.
Regional support services team located in Nairobi with multilingual 24/7 Customer
Support for partners and multinational business customers.
Est. 2003. Systems Integrator with extensive regional experience of network build
and rollout of VSAT, WiMAX and other wireless services. Acquired the regional ISP
assets of Telkom South Africa in Dec 2013 and been consolidating and growing its
base ever since as a pan-African ISP operator with strong focus on satellite solutions.
3. Satellite is a Technology
• Supports multiple end functionality
• Provides backhaul alternatives for mobile
operators
• Enables last mile to a different segment
However still tainted by so many previous experiences and
perceptions; yet so much new investment and activity
happening at the moment. What will be different?
Reliable
4. What does the customer want?
• Availability: wants the service on-demand
when required
• Accessibility: wants the service where required
(location and device specific)
• Affordability: wants a reasonably priced
service within budgetary means
Often overlooked is RESPECT with regard to service levels from
operator in terms of value for money, customer support and
network quality
5. Satellite has become more affordable
• Satellite connectivity may once have been
considered prohibitive, but like every last mile
access on the continent, satellite connectivity
costs have reduced substantially over time which
has widened its market appeal
• Today, satellite connectivity could be considered
prohibitive in urban areas; however outside the
cities, satellite today is now a viable option
whereas it previously would have been
considered too prohibitive for that user segment
New Ka HTS pricing reshaped current satellite services
6. Even more affordability is coming…
• Even more competitive offers with improved
coverage and geographically targeted high
throughput ultimately lowering monthly service
costs for the benefit of all changing efficiencies and
price points.
• Expect an increase take-up of satellite services in
urban and peri-urban areas as back-up services for
terrestrial connectivity.
• Widespread availability of WiFi access accessed via
a satellite backhaul link enabling greater access to
connectivity across the continent
WARNING: Data usage is addictive!
The demand exists. We are merely balancing the price point to
maximise utilization within current capacity levels.
