[kictanet] Communication Tariffs

[Kai Wulff]

Dear Alex,

this is a good question.

I would say that at least Celtel's tariffs are published on the webpage?

When it comes to Leased Lines, it seems published rates are not worth much 
any more. KDN is still observing the non-discriminatory pricing model but 
others don't.
