The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) formulated a Licensing and
Shared Spectrum Framework for Community Networks
<https://www.ca.go.ke/public-consultation-on-draft-licensing-and-shared-spec…>,
with contributions from KICTANet, the entire community, and other partners
(the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), the University of
Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland, and supported by the United Kingdom’s
Digital Access Programme)
CA has released the guidelines, application forms, and compliance forms for
operators to apply for the community network license under the Unified
Licensing Framework. The documents currently on the CA website are;
1. Community Network and Service Provider-CNSP Lice
<https://www.ca.go.ke/document/community-network-and-service-provider-cnsp-l…>
nse
2. Community Network and Service Provider – Compliance Return Form
<https://www.ca.go.ke/document/community-network-and-service-provider-compli…>
3. Application Form For Community Network and Service Provider License
1-TL-8.0
<https://www.ca.go.ke/document/application-form-for-community-network-and-se…>
Community networks are now under the regulatory ambit in Kenya. The license
application fee is Ksh1000, with an annual renewal fee of KSh5000. The
license is valid for 10 years. The community network will be limited to a
subcounty. This is considered affordable compared to the lowest fee in the
Network Facilities Provider license where an initial license fee is
Sh200,000.
If any community networks operator or prospective operator needs support in
applying for the license, they can contact CA or KICTANet for help.

Hello,
Last week to participate in the Call for Proposals for MozFest 2022 open
till November 5th!
Submit A Session Idea for MozFest <https://bit.ly/3ajHey1>!
MozFest is a unique hybrid: part art, tech, and society convening, part
maker festival, and the premiere gathering for activists in diverse global
movements fighting for a more humane digital world.
The Call for Proposals is open to anyone interested in the role tech plays
in our lives. You don’t need specific expertise or skills to host a
session; all you need is a great idea, project, design theory, campaign, or
personal experience that you would like to unpack and collaborate on with a
global community.
MozFest is looking for collaborative, participatory, and inclusive
sessions, workshops, skillshares, immersive art projects, and more that
interrogate AI, propelling it towards global justice.
If you or someone you know is interested in leading a session at MozFest
this year, you can learn more here about the process.
