@Brian,

this is where we go wrong. We (East Africans) pay top-dollar to be member= s of ITU and then we consistently ignore their research output for various reasons - including lying :-). In which case we should at least stop bein= g members and save the money for something else. Incidentally, ITU has been around for donkey years doing policy research in telecomms and we should = at least give their report some little respect and attention.

But if we doubt them, we should produce alternate research like what Eng. Dr. Zaipuna O. Yonah, PhD has done with Research ICT Africa report- whic shows that actually .TZ has the most affordable internet services. From t= he quick reading of that I can see that perhaps what Research ICT Africa failed to do was that they did not "normalize" their figures.

What this means is that if a coke or any product is 1USD in the US and it is also 1USD in Kenya, that coke is still considered more expensive in Kenya because of differentials in national income levels i.e. they are no= t equally affordable . Put differently an American finds it easier to spend the 1USD than the Kenyan would.

So if one was to "normalize" the Research ICT report against national income levels, we would most likely arrive at the same (ITU) conclusion.

Folks,(apologies for cross-posting)

This comes as a suprise. One would have thought Kenya and TZ by virtue of "owning" the International Internet conne Submarine connectivity/Gatewyas at Mombasa and Dar respectively, they would offer the cheapest Internet costs.

But according to the latest 2013 ITU report that has been tracking and measuring affordability of internet, UG is ranked no 139, TZ at no 143 and Kenya at no 149 globally in terms of affordability.

Cost of broadband internet in Kenya is put at 49% of the Gross National Income(GNI) compared to .UG at 32%. Put differently it costs an average Kenyan half(50%) his salary to connect to a broadband internet link. In SA it is about 4% of their GNI.

Those who can withstand the statistics/readings can pull the Executive Report at

http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/Statistics/Documents/publications/mis2013/MIS= 2013-exec-sum_E.pdf

@ CS Matiang'i - this could be part of your bedtime reading collection :-)
