Bwana Wambua, Thanks for the update, greatly appreciated. I have a few queries though, I took the liberty to analyse the data and below are my observations (based on population data from Census 2009 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_Kenya>): - 1. What criteria was used to select the schools? 2. There appears to be a disproportionate allocation, with some counties receiving much more than others yet atleast one county receiving none. See anaylsis on* this LINK <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KzvbBqyDi9Mv-pu6c5bVDm1wYVJM-O1COJvj9mG7K5Q/edit?usp=sharing>.* Regards Twahir On Tue, Sep 10, 2019 at 10:56 AM Barrack Otieno via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
Many thanks bwana Wambua for providing input. Any feedback on whether there is a phase 2 to the project and potential coverage areas? Regards

Greetings Bwana Wambua,
We are eagerly waiting for the feedback as you promised. On another note, is there a planned phase two for the USF Project considering the success of phase 1?
Best regards

Hi Barrack,
You have a good memory. I was flaging the issue.
The locations connected to the Internet by USF were shared by the indefatigable Mr Wambua. However, the information on the Schools and other amenities connected was not shared. This is what Liz is asking about.
Below is the information CA provided
"Grace,
Below are the 62 sub-locations that have benefited from the mobile voice infrastructure project executed through the USF. We shall share the information on the beneficiary schools of the Education Broadband Connectivity Project through our website as soon as possible. Wambua"

Hi Liz,
There was an email shared on this list earlier in the year with the details. Not sure if there is a lister who flagged it.

This is really great. Congratulations @ CA and the USF team.
Could you please provide some details on the number of schools, public libraries, hospitals and other community service locations connected to the Internet through USF? Are they open to the public?

Hi GG, Barrack and All
Indeed. I confirm that connectivity in my counties (Kilifi and Lamu) has tremendously improved. Credit should indeed go to CA and the last mile service providers.

Hi GG,
Many thanks for the Video. I wish to commend the Communications Authority and the Service Providers for a great job in so far as Universal Access is confirmed. Over the past week i have been to Chawiya location (5000 feet hills in Wundanyi Taita Taveta) and Mwatate in Taita and was able to Watch news and entertain myself using my smartphone a testament of how far we have connected our country. I was amazed by the Infrastructure (roads and power) that has been extended to the top of the hills which has really transformed lives. The excitement in the eyes of the youth could tell it all. From Taita i moved on to Mombasa, Kilifi and Malindi and the connectivity is simply amazing to say the least. I have actually streamed this videos without any buffering. In conclusion Communication Network Coverage has greatly improved and as the DG says in the Video the journey of 1000 steps indeed starts with one step. Well done CA, well done service poviders.
Best Regards
