b) Launch of the network "Amílcar Cabral" consisting of fiber optic cables for sub-regional capitals:
Nouakchott, Dakar, Banjul, Bissau, Conakry, Freetown and Monrovia (ECOWAS);
c) Connection to the fiber optic cable PEACE, through South Africa and Mozambique (CPLP);
d) Launch of fiber optic cable DILCE between Cape Verde and the United States (Boston);
e) Renewal and implementation of "sub-loops" on the network of fiber-optic inter-island;
