Thank you GG for sharing.

The danger is in standing still. At least there is movement in the right direction.

Now we need to have a clear document outlining the contribution of the major firms to the USF kitty since it was setup. The Civil Society should step-up the pressure to ensure that the kitty is used optimally and the herdsman in Moyale, and the fisherman in Rusinga Island have access to affordable broadband.

Is there representation of users on the Universal Service Advisory Council?

Warm regards

The Communications Commission of Kenya and mobile phone companies will unveil a roadmap to the launch of the Universal Service Fund.

The fund was set up to help step up telecommunication infrastructure in rural and remote areas, which are normally considered financially unviable.
