Grace and all Let’s call a spade a spade. I understand the sites are down because of non-payment of services . That statement from ICTA is just a PR exercise. For a country of our stature in Africa to have these issues with basic digital housekeeping stuff is really affecting our Brand Equity and it is just unacceptable.

Hi Twahir, You may want to consult Michuki Mwangi from ISOC or Josephine Miliza from TunapandaNet in Kibera who are experts on the subject.

You dont need much, an operating license, if you will ride on an existing ISP, you wont need an ISP license, depending on services you might need a CSP and or ASP license. Microwave/wimax is subject to frequency approvals and is costlier but as someone mentioned i'd just work with 2.4/5GHz. maybe a telecommunication personnel license There is a whole host of things you can do but if planning to start small nothing stops you from being online next week within three months at worst:-) JG On Thu, Nov 8, 2018 at 5:54 PM Twahir Hussein Kassim via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Hi Twahir, Great to hear that you want to start this in Kilifi! Currently, community networks are not recognized under the CA regulatory framework. Using unlicensed spectrum is one way to start, but this also requires an operating license from CA. I would not say CA is silent on this, the community network movement in Africa is quite young, although we have networks for example in Zambia, Uganda, and South Africa that have existed for over 5 years. In those countries, all have operating licenses. At this point, what is needed is more awareness on the role that community networks play in connecting communities that may not make a good market case for traditional ISPs/telcos, also on the impact beyond access such as digital literacy training and catalyzing the local economies.

Thanks Josephine for that info. If I may ask, TUNAPANDA (assuming you're still there) operarates on what kind of license?
Listers thanks for the interest in this project, am now more confident that this will happen (God willing). Will sure send an invite to the whole group for the launch :-)

Hi Twahir,
Great to hear that you want to start this in Kilifi! Currently, community networks are not recognized under the CA regulatory framework. Using unlicensed spectrum is one way to start, but this also requires an operating license from CA. I would not say CA is silent on this, the community network movement in Africa is quite young, although we have networks for example in Zambia, Uganda, and South Africa that have existed for over 5 years. In those countries, all have operating licenses. At this point, what is needed is more awareness on the role that community networks play in connecting communities that may not make a good market case for traditional ISPs/telcos, also on the impact beyond access such as digital literacy training and catalyzing the local economies.

You dont need much, an operating license, if you will ride on an existing ISP, you wont need an ISP license, depending on services you might need a CSP and or ASP license. Microwave/wimax is subject to frequency approvals and is costlier but as someone mentioned i'd just work with 2.4/5GHz. maybe a telecommunication personnel license
There is a whole host of things you can do but if planning to start small nothing stops you from being online next week within three months at worst:-)

Hi Twahir,
You may want to consult Michuki Mwangi from ISOC or Josephine Miliza from TunapandaNet in Kibera who are experts on the subject. I think some guidance from CA on the matter will also be usefull, our good friend Mr. Wambua is always at hand to clarify such issues.

Hi Twahir,
Which range of Spectrum do you intend to use? That might determine whether you need a license from CA.

Twahir, As per what I remember you can use the 2.4 or 5 GHz spectrum which is free. When I was working on the wireless technologies there was a technology by the name of LMDS (Local Multi point Distribution System). You can also look up for something equivalent. Maybe there are better technologies out there now for wireless. Regards, Fayyaz.
