Kenya: Country Moves to Tighten Security At Mombasa
Of all the ports surveyed, Mombasa was found to be the most vulnerable to terror attacks. The Kenya government is quietly working around the clock to improve security at the Port of Mombasa after two audits taken at the facility - the first by the US government through the Anti-Terrorism Assistance Office and a second by the Kenya Maritime Authority - came up with glaring shortcomings that make the premier port a "soft target" for terrorist attacks. .
AMB Property Corporation(R) Announces Second Quarter Results
Global trade continues to expand at more than three times world GDP. Many of our customers are reconfiguring their distribution networks to improve efficiencies, driving the demand for new facilities in our target markets. Our solid performance in the quarter reflects this dynamic," said Hamid R. Moghadam, AMB chairman and CEO. "Our operating portfolio grew by nearly 8.0 million square feet in the quarter, and at the same time, our occupancy level improved and is on target to meet our annual forecast. Market rents continue to rise in many of our markets, resulting in our portfolio's fourth consecutive quarter of positive rent growth on rollover. Importantly, conversations with our customers point to continued growth in both sea container traffic and air cargo volumes for the remainder of 2007, which puts us in a good position for the balance of the year." INVESTMENT ACTIVITY New development starts in the quarter totaled approximately 3.2 million square feet in nine projects in North America and Asia, and one value-added conversion project in San Francisco, with an estimated total investment of $265 million.
Pipex stick to limits
Pipex has announced new broadband packages today and are scrapping the old 'unlimited' tag in favour of clear and transparent download limits. The ISP is looking to be “honest and straight forward to customers" by giving customers fixed download limits rather than applying a Fair Usage Policy, which to most users is a grey area as these limits are not usually published. As before the packages come in Mini, Midi, Max and Pro and have the same up to 8Mbps download speeds, with download limits at 2GB, 10GB, 30GB and 100GB respectively. Prices range from £9.99 a month for the mini, which Pipex claim is suitable for 70 per cent of its customers to £39.99 for the Pro. Mini and Midi customers receive a free modem but can upgrade to the wireless router that Max and Pro customers get for an additional £30.
