[kictanet] CCK: Internet Tariffs Affordability

[Kai U. Wulff]

Dear Alex,

 

What about if we can produce 95% or more of our content in Kenya?

 

In Europe the ratio between internal and external bandwidth is 250 000 : 1 !

 

I strongly believe rural connectivity can be achieved, as for us, we charge
the same LL charges irrespective where you are!

 

Kai

"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."

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