Harm caused by ill-thought out WCIT proposals to developing world Report author Dr. Rohan Samarajiva, founding chair and CEO of LIRNEasia and former telecommunication regulator in Sri Lanka, finds that proposals contributed by ETNO and the Africa region could artificially raise the cost of network interconnection, content delivery, and quality of service, and that these costs would ultimately be passed along to those least able to afford them or would result in exclusion from the Internet economy.

TIM and Listers, The African Common Proposals (which Kenya through CCK has been involved in their development)are available on the CCK website at http://www.cck.go.ke/links/consultations/Public_Consultation.html CCK is inviting comments on the review to the ITRs to enrich the African Common Proposals (ACPs), and where necessary, to develop national positions ahead of the WCIT-12.

Mich/Ali, I must also commend CCK on this process of vigorous engagement with Stakeholders. I think it is either the new broom (read DG) sweeps better syndrome or the new constitution in action - but perhaps a mixture of both factors... walu. nb: I do hope eventually they share what they will present at WCIT.

Walu It is important to note that all the regions of the world have different positions on the ITRs. There are those who are of the view that the ITRs should remain as they are. Another school of thought argues that a review is necessary but should be minimal, only addressing those provisions that have been overtaken by technological and market developments. The third school argues that review should be extensive as the global telecoms industry has changed enormously since 1988. The outcome of WCIT-12 will be a product of negotiations/trade-off between these three schools of thought. And that why all regions of the world are developing regional positions so that they can have higher leverage in the negotiations. What Kenya, or Africa for that matter, will take to Dubai will therefore have to be subjected to this process. I believe the ITU shall publish the final ITRs (Final Acts) after the conference.

Wambua That's a good synopsis of the 3 schools of thought. I haven't had a chance of reading our position (Kenya & Africa) so would appreciate if you could tell us in which of these 3 schools do we fall in? I will definitely find time to read the position.

Mich/Ali,
I must also commend CCK on this process of vigorous engagement with Stakeholders. I think it is either the new broom (read DG) sweeps better syndrome or the new constitution in action - but perhaps a mixture of both factors...
walu. nb: I do hope eventually they share what they will present at WCIT. They ofcourse are not compelled to take in everything from stakeholders but stakeholders have a right to know what was picked/ignored from their input.

I have to say that am impressed with the process that the GoK and CCK has taken on the WCIT-12 debate. IMHO this is a proudly Kenyan moment.

TIM and Listers,
The African Common Proposals (which Kenya through CCK has been involved in their development)are available on the CCK website at http://www.cck.go.ke/links/consultations/Public_Consultation.html
CCK is inviting comments on the review to the ITRs to enrich the African Common Proposals (ACPs), and where necessary, to develop national positions ahead of the WCIT-12.
The African region is meeting in Accra, Ghana, this week for third African region preparatory meeting for the World Telecommunications Standardization Assembly and the WCIT-12.
The revised ACPs that will come out the Ghana meeting shall be uploaded on the CCK website to keep the local ICT community and stakeholders fully apprised on what is happening in this space.
CCK is planning to convene a stakeholders meeting on WCIT-12 after the Ghana meeting (and after compiling comments on the African proposals to the review of ITRs) to discuss the final proposals that Kenya shall be taking to WCIT-12 in Dubai.
I hope this sheds light on this matter.

Harm caused by ill-thought out WCIT proposals to developing world Report author Dr. Rohan Samarajiva, founding chair and CEO of
LIRNEasia and former telecommunication regulator in Sri Lanka, finds that proposals contributed by ETNO and the Africa region could artificially raise the cost of network interconnection, content delivery, and quality of service, and that these costs would ultimately be passed along to those least able to afford them or would result in exclusion from the Internet economy.
