Where is this price coming from? 1M duplex 1 : 1 starts from 245 000 KSH _____ From: kictanet-bounces+kai.wulff=kdn.co.ke@kictanet.or.ke [mailto:kictanet-bounces+kai.wulff=kdn.co.ke@kictanet.or.ke] On Behalf Of Alex Gakuru Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 11:58 To: kai.wulff@kdn.co.ke Subject: [kictanet] CCK: Internet Tariffs Affordability "Although the average price of 1 Mbps leased line bandwidth of Ksh 364,317 to the customers appears to be lower than the Ksh 403,032 that ISPs pay to the IBGO's, data shows that for every 1 Mb/s purchased from the IBGO, the ISPs connect about 6 customers using 1 Mb/s links. That is, there is a ratio of at least 1 to 6 between bandwidth purchased and bandwidth sold." <http://www.cck.go.ke/internet_tariffs_affordability/> At these figures, rural internet cannot "make a business case" therefore there exists a serious need to re-think rural connectivity.
