On Access to ICCK Minutes - Universal Access Fund
- Can this be covered under "access to information" 'principle' in the recently passed constitution; my recollection, and correct me if I am wrong, is that parliament will enact a law on access to information and requirement for transparency for all government entities/agencies/commissions/etc etc. I presume this would cover ICCK - On telecom infrastructure financing, the Canadian model may be worth a study; every telco (actually customer as telcos pass this cost) has to contribute to this fund which is then used as an incentive (e.g. rebate, tax relief, etc.) for those telcos that invest in new infrastructure and/or operate in areas where telcom profitability is low. (NB: their debate on the matter was back in 1996 following deregulation.)

IMHO, ICCK meetings should be open to the public, as well as minuted!
- On telecom infrastructure financing, the Canadian model may be worth a study; every telco (actually customer as telcos pass this cost) has to contribute to this fund which is then used as an incentive (e.g. rebate, tax relief, etc.) for those telcos that invest in new infrastructure and/or operate in areas where telcom profitability is low.
