@walu I have been shouting about this for years.
But rather than expecting the big companies to do it, why don't we create the policy environment for community owned micro- ISPs? Create a mesh network that can actually bring increased income to the people who use it? As I always have said, Nairobi is not ALL of Kenya and we are leaving our villages behind.
Spot on madame!
Either we have a USF and accompanying regs, or we let people do bush-networking on a small scale, using the Village Telco/OpenBTS/AfriMesh/whatever they choose.
