Precisely Athar, going forwad my submissions are emphasising on the fact that we shouldnt necessarily focus on growth of the industry per se but that of the entire economy, i would subsicribe to this argument if we had 100% coverage, considering the fact that we still have some parts of the country that need to be covered how will this be attained?
a Universal Service Fund or requirement would be a useful first step. This would entail significant investment. Lowering the tax burden on telcos while implementing Universal Service would be necessary. This means less for KRA, but that money would go to ICCK for implementation. are the Mobile Telcos
getting sufficient return on their investment or do they have to rely on revenues from other Countries to expand coverage?
Depends on who is defining "sufficient" I think ;-) -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how we get there." Jon Postel
