Interesting point and I'm intrigued on how this will be executed. I I think Ndemo and team kicked this off with the undersea cable project and the NOFBI project. There are already assets, networks that can go into this PPP. Possibly collapse the moribund Universal Access Fund/Board into it?

1. A PPP company will be set up to build, own and operate a nationwide mobile broadband telecom network and infrastructure.
probably this PPP is the right home for Essar's Yu network, instead of building a new broadband infrastructure from scratch
2. It will not be permitted to offer services directly to customers but will offer whole capacity to existing and new service providers
The way I understand this, the new PPP will be a backbone of sorts, or will it operate the way Zuku rides on Telkom's Kenstream on their Wimax? With Safaricom wanting to take up Yu's infrastructure, it's obvious they are lacking in capacity and such an initiative will benefit the individual Internet user.
