| Hi Alice The thoughts you express are mutual to many i have spoken to about the "preparedness" for the anticipated Optical Fiber roll out My view-together with others- is to compile a ckeck lis of what needs to be done vis what has to be done, Namely personnel to operate. Technical satff to install and later repair Workshops/ repair shops and tools for the above Methods of quality control and licencing for players Capacity building of the same Then the secondary issues of; Content wether local or not. The incubation centers for training The facilities currently avilable for the same. Ownership of the same for finance/loan/grasnts to the same Capacity for student intake? Teachers or trainers database for distribution nationwide. Other issues would be; ? Is equipment available locally or not If to be imported would tax exemption benefit the consumer ? What would be the cost of service per minute Or per hour ? 100/= per day ? For teleworking, E-learning, E-medicine etc online cost is an important factor to be considered as with the recent release, stating income-rural- levels and priorities for spending income For the majority who earn less than a dollar a day a nominal fee would make sense, the list is just but an idea tho not comprehensive, a detailed list can- in FACT -should be made. Have a blessed week end Regards Njenga M.P those who fear to fail.will never try to succeded,for to fail to plan is to plan to FAIL |
