Abt 2 years ago CCK tendered for a Universal Access study and I believe it covered some of the issues like having a GIS driven system to assess all sorts of infrastructure (elec, post offices, GSM, fixed networks, fibre etc). Also to define what parameters (and which organ) would be used to disurse the funds.
Did this study take off? Anyone on the list from CCK who can enlighten us?

@walu I have been shouting about this for years.
But rather than expecting the big companies to do it, why don't we create the policy environment for community owned micro- ISPs? Create a mesh network that can actually bring increased income to the people who use it? As I always have said, Nairobi is not ALL of Kenya and we are leaving our villages behind.
Spot on madame!
Either we have a USF and accompanying regs, or we let people do bush-networking on a small scale, using the Village Telco/OpenBTS/AfriMesh/whatever they choose.
