Microwave, Fibre or Satellite - which is best as Africa moves to IP Networks?

rural cable300x225Across Africa, fibre has long been seen as a panacea for providing high-reliability, high-bandwidth connectivity, especially at a time when microwave was considered to be relatively unreliable due to the power required.
