🇸🇪 Stockholm
Stokab: Stockholm's Municipal Open-Access Dark Fibre Network
Bangui just finished laying its cross-border fibre ring; Stockholm's Stokab shows what comes after — leasing it on equal terms.
🇳🇪 Niamey
Niamey Urban Fibre Loop — Trans-Saharan Backbone Project
Both are AfDB/EU-financed fibre backbones from the same period — Niamey's loop feeds a planned data centre, Bangui's crosses two borders.
🇸🇿 Mbabane
Mbabane Smart City & 5G Project
Different donors, same continent: Bangui's fibre ring cost AfDB and the EU about $36M, Mbabane's project a $2M Taiwanese grant.
