Every Where But Here

There is a lot of activity in the International arena. Here are some highlights:

Vodacom is acquiring Gateway Communications in West and Central Africa.
C&W is partnering with Vietnam Data Communications Company and BSNL in India.
France Telecom (Orange) acquired 51% of Telkom Kenya.
Telefonica now has a 9.9% stake in China Netcom.
XO reaches into China with China Netcom.
Google, Liberty Media and others are launching 03b, a satellite internet service that will consist of a cluster of 16 satellites delivering wholesale internet access to Asia, Africa, Mid-East, and Latin America.
Verizon and Google are launching Trans-Pacific cable (separately).

That's the round up in a nutshell (thanks to Capacity magazine).
