Hey Kai,<br>&nbsp;<br>But I am not talking about a national company here, just increasing options for the small rural ISP outreach (where large telcos this far lack the business case justifying heavy investment you outlined).<br><br>I know salaries, office&nbsp; rent, security watchmen, etc are all needed. <br><br>BTW there are local guys who are making masts at Kshs 60,000/= each and they're great. Unless they should also be imported?<br><br>Gakuru<br>&nbsp;<br><b><i>"Kai U.
