[image: image.png] Dear Listers, Ms Catherine Kyalo, Africa Regional Coordinator for Community Networks, KICTANet has some interesting announcements <https://bit.ly/3ICHlo8> to make. 1. South Africa plans to provide 10GB of free data to every SA household, regardless of income bracket. This move is part of the key objective of the SA Connect Broadband Policy. 2. The SA Connect policy is targeting 80% broadband access to communities and government facilities. 3. Can Kenya follow suit and reopen its WOAN discussions, to avail high-spectrum to retail and small-scale network providers in the move to support digital inclusion through community networks? For more about what KICTANet has been doing around #CommunityNetworks, kindly read here. <https://www.kictanet.or.ke/what-we-do/community-networks/> *Kind Regards,* *David Indeje *_____________________________________ +254 (0) 711 385 945 | +254 (0) 734 024 856 <https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-indeje/>
