Dr Ndemo, +1 This will aid the Rural Internet requirements. How can we get involved in the POC as we can add value from our partnership and technology from Visual Unity, who recently recognised with a Red Herring Global 100 for their Mobile innovation.

Mark, We are working on a pilot project with the regulator's knowledge. Once the technology is mature, then it can be commercialized. It is the Ministry that sought for the approval from CCK after signing an MOU with Microsoft and Indigo to try in remote parts of this country. The technology promises cheaper internet if successiful. It is also being tested in the UK under similar arrangements.
Ndemo.
Came across this and in light of recent happenings I am curious to know the regulators opinion on this and what technology these guys are actually using.

Why isn't using white space (which I assume is intentionally unallocated spectrum) mainstream?
Am I missing something?
