Over at the EANOG <http://www.thirdworldnetworkers.com/2011/11/east-african-network-operators-group.html> (http://orion.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/eanog), we had an uninformed debate on LTE and its frequency allocation. I believe most of the issues that came up can be better answered on this list. 1: How will the LTE spectrum be allocated? The media had alot to say some time back. What's valid, whats not? http://allafrica.com/stories/201109060017.html http://www.intomobile.com/2010/11/23/kenya-lte/ (just a few examples I picked out) 2: Is the millitary still using/holding onto the 2.6GHz? 3: Apart from mobile operators, who else is or should be interested in LTE and why? 4: Would someone with this information be open to a seating with us at the IHUB at our next meeting for an open Q&A. 5: How far into the process of freeing up the necessary frequencies are we? I'm sure more questions will come up but for now I believe we are more curious about no:1 because it raises questions like: if a consortium will be formed, how will maintenance and general network management be done?
