The sad thing, is this is probably the likely most efficient use of NOFBI, with detrimental impact on lots of “big players” who would lose significant market advantage in one clean swoop. 

Im not holding my breath though.

Hi Collins,

Good proposal. Time to look beyond Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu and
promote community networks.

I Second Collins on this approach.
Considering NOFBI is state funded (unless am wrong) so it's the Kenyan
taxes funding it and that KIXP via Tespok be given the mandate to offer
ports at fixed rates accessible anywhere the NOFBI fiber terminates.

Hi all,
I have a rather interesting suggestion to the powers, power brokers and
brokers that be. This is with regard to flattening the access environment
countrywide. If you are at CA: Indulge me for a moment.

1) KIXP has proven over time that it is possible, from a technical
standpoint to significantly drive traffic locally and in an organized
manner. This works well where there is an XP, in the current scheme of
things: Nairobi, and if TKL doesnt pull the plug, Msa.

2) If KIXP were operated like a distributed network, with switches in
Kilifi, Mombasa, Garsen, Garissa, Thika, and all major towns in the
country, so that providers would visit the nearest exchange point and get
a
port, loop charges would all but disappear.

3) All thats needed is for GOK to give KIXP a dark fiber pair into all
major towns, and in exchange, for KIXP to offer 1G, 10G, 100G, etc at
subsidized rates in any of these towns, and for NOFBI hosts to be
“strongly
asked” not to strong arm entrants by levying crazy cross connect or other
barriers to entry.

Maoni?
