How about the attached report? Sometimes, you got to find a comparative approach to make sense out of these studies. Sometimes it matters who reports.....But the customer knows the truth!

Folks,(apologies for cross-posting)
This comes as a suprise. One would have thought Kenya and TZ by virtue of "owning" the International Internet conne Submarine connectivity/Gatewyas at Mombasa and Dar respectively, they would offer the cheapest Internet costs.
But according to the latest 2013 ITU report that has been tracking and measuring affordability of internet, UG is ranked no 139, TZ at no 143 and Kenya at no 149 globally in terms of affordability.
Cost of broadband internet in Kenya is put at 49% of the Gross National Income(GNI) compared to .UG at 32%. Put differently it costs an average Kenyan half(50%) his salary to connect to a broadband internet link. In SA it is about 4% of their GNI.
Those who can withstand the statistics/readings can pull the Executive Report at

@ CS Matiang'i - this could be part of your bedtime reading collection :-)
