JaKa2LaDeMa

I've just followed a news entry fed to my reader from Subtel. It's about Jaka2ladema, I've mentioned here several months ago. Well, it's for me quite a bit surprise that Telkom announced officially its project. Or could it be just the suppliers' initiative ? :-D . In any case, my congrats to Fujitsu/NSW! I do hope that NEC does the similar thing, since BSCS is not a secret project, right ? :-D
