Really curious findings..! Anyone with any idea what benchmarks, metrics and methodologies were at play or employed here..? Or the underlying raw data that form the basis for the research findings.., we could have a look. All said, it's a pointer to the right strides that industry players have and continue to make in the right direction.. Finally, anyone with any idea why P2P fibre connectivity still costs an arm and a leg in this time and age, what with all the layers of fibre running across town atop each other, and lying almost idle..? What happened to NOFB..? Harry On Jun 11, 2017 9:04 AM, "Eric Osiakwan via kictanet" < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

The high cost of local loops is just alarming. It's cheaper buying internet connections and setting up VPNs than buying actual loops. I keep asking internet service providers to offer local traffic twice or thrice as fast for each megabit of international traffic in order to utilise tge idle local capacity but none is willing.

There is an unconscious belief that the internet in inherently foreign and as such products specific to local needs are overlooked, which products could potentially help develop the local internet. Noah
I believe PDNO's are here with us on the list, and I suppose time is nigh to hold a healthy discourse going forward that's geared at among other things expeditiously and judiciously bringing down the last mile loop/p2p costs. It's been a misnomer that bringing down internet costs focuses only on externally hosted content, and this needs to be revisited now if we truly want to localize content that's truly local and which in essence should be hosted locally in the first place. On the plus side for the data network providers, they should see an uptick in consumer data services uptake as a natural consequence for taking such a step in this brilliantly right direction, while at the same time putting to productive use such an enormous idle capacity that's presently going to waste. This should also spur local content development/consumption,increased innovation thereby creating the much needed job opportunities especially in the startups sector. Hope someone out there is listening..! Harry On Wed, Jun 14, 2017 at 2:53 PM, Noah via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

The premise upon which investment in last-mile infrastructure is made especially in countries like the USA, is so that, they services providers can attract local markets within the USA before they can even think of the global numbers. The same kind of thinking should prevail at home.
On the plus side for the data network providers, they should see an uptick in consumer data services uptake as a natural consequence for taking such a step in this brilliantly right direction, while at the same time putting to productive use such an enormous idle capacity that's presently going to waste.
+1 This should also spur local content development/consumption,increased
innovation thereby creating the much needed job opportunities especially in the startups sector.

Hope someone out there is listening..!
Certainly.
