Alice Best.. Thank you so much, for highlighting this... Frankly, on a side note; One of the reasons we've been on this forum working away with 'hammer and tongs' on this broadband subject is so that hopefully someone at cck and in the ministry could take note,and hopefully provide leadership by bringing in the fold as many stake holders to deal with this important subject, at this very important juncture in the history of this nation. It's too important to be ignored at this time especially if we hope to retain leadership regionally as an economic and ICT powerhouse on the continent. We will be overtaken, before we wake up from this deep slumber. "Broadband" as a national subject and priority needs urgent attention right away - not tomorrow. And this needs "boldness" and "leadership" Anybody listening...?
