The fear of other operators is HE has brought down the cost of IP transit drastically 
meaning thats the new cost of bandwidth per Mb

It seems inconceivable to that a global player like HE wouldn't know the regulatory environment in the markets they play. To me this story seems unlikely as HE is big enough to probably swallow all the players in the market without belching... :-)

Here's a link to some information on them:-

If this is the case then further investigation needs to be carried out to establish the truth. Any player in particular( name and shame ) trying to influence the introduction of the said levy

@Barry 

It is not the Intruduction of the levy that is the problem, it is why such levy is introduced that I have a problem with. If players can lobby for a levy to be introduced to make a competitor less effective then whats to stop them from leaving it at just that?

This is interesting 
But again i don't see how introducing a levy will stop Hurricane Electric from selling there capacity at any cost they want, its there capacity any way 
It has become a free market so you buy were you can

Morning Listers, 

Treat this as rumours as my source wont agree to be named or linked with this information. For information's sake though, please indulge me. 

Hurricane Electric (http://he.com) , or HE is a global carrier. (more like a carrier of carriers). HE is a breath of fresh air when it comes to connectivity. They do not price the product as if it is made of vibranium. HE also runs a lean shop, as a result, their prices are in the order of thousands of percentage points lower than you would get from anyone locally. 

In fact, they price internet lower than anyone prices a local loop from Nairobi to Kilifi. (Pity we cant get HE anywhere other than EADC, and operators are moving in their droves from the usual suspects.  Which is somewhat the problem and gist of this post, because the usual suspects are not happy. 

Hence my question. 
Might anyone in this list (particularly from CA) be privy to attempts to introduce another levy for anyone interested in getting services from an operator in EADC? 

It just feels like when we just saw the ray of light on this issue, cartel like "forces"  close in. 


Regards,

Collins Areba,
