[kictanet] Digital Saba Saba Wish List: holds them accountable!

Wed Jul 11 10:57:22 EAT 2007

  Thnx Alex,   
  2.6 UNIVERSAL ACCESS   
  c) Creating incentives for service providers to deploy services in rural and under-served areas;

  I wish it would read like this:

  Provide incentives, such as tax relief and reduced regulatory fees for operators
  and service providers engaged in public access projects, including rollout and
  provision of ICT services in underserved areas

  Kind Regards,

In the absence of the Kenya Gazette Notice No: 2431 
(Vol CVIII No.24 Dated 31 march March, 2006) from the
ministry website, I've scanned my hard copy and
attached. 

On Monday, 04 June 2007, Rebecca posted the ICT Bill
presently before parliament. 

Also attached is the 2006 draft ICT Bill we wrote
about
com_content&task=view&id=19557&Itemid=93〈=en_GB>

Comparing pre- and after AG drafts informs well on
discrepancies (and any inconsistencies regarding ICT
Policy implementation)

In case this becomes an overload, just tell us your
wishes and we shall check if they are taken care of
else we ask for them next Monday.

Regards,

Alex
