[kictanet] CCK: Internet Tariffs Affordability

[Alex Gakuru]

"Although the average price of 1 Mbps leased line bandwidth of Ksh 364,317 to the customers appears to be lower than the Ksh 403,032 that ISPs pay to the IBGO’s, data shows that for every 1 Mb/s purchased from the IBGO, the ISPs connect about 6 customers using 1 Mb/s links. That is, there is a ratio of at least 1 to 6 between bandwidth purchased and bandwidth sold." <http://www.cck.go.ke/internet_tariffs_affordability/>

At these figures, rural internet cannot "make a business case" therefore there exists a serious need to re-think rural connectivity.
