The cable will be upgradeable to 640 Gbps.

Network installation is scheduled by the end of the first quarter 2009
From Regina:
“Thank you very much for the money you gave for the christmas party for the girls. We are still planning. We decided that we will hold it on the 23rd of December at our church. The girls are very excited, infact they are the ones who gave the suggestions. We have arranged to buy them and their children clothes before that date. That was their greatest wish. The girls are doing very well and the numbers are increasing by the day. The space we are using for the moment is very small though. We are still looking hard for the house. We have had volunteers coming to counsel them, pray and teach them and bring them clothes.â€
