Mwendwa, Thanks for this discussion. Universal access gets complicated when one company is ahead of government in providing access to remote areas. Such a company will definitely want/deserves a say in how the fund is managed. So on representation to the USF board, let private sector and civil society also have seats. It would be a good balance of interests. Regards, 2014-12-09 15:34 GMT+03:00 Mwendwa Kivuva via kictanet < [email protected]>:

Thanks for the email. I'd just like to note that "Safaricom's 4G/LTE service is the first of its kind in the region" is not the case. Tanzania and Uganda already offer 4G/LTE.
Adam, at least that is what Safaricom are saying in this link http://www. safaricom.co.ke/personal/internet/safaricom-4g-lte It's good to debunk the myths. Or probably they are saying their LTE/4G is better than the rest
