[kictanet] Day 7-9 -The Impact of The Recommendations-CCK Internet Rprt

[Eric Osiakwan]

1. Regulator building national fiber infrastructure is a VERY BAD  
recommendation, am sorry. Regulator is Referre and MUST remain asuch.
3. Develop National Information Infrastructure, please watch this too.

Am surprised though that there is no recommendation for the regulator  
to gain MORE AUTONOMY and INDEPENDENCE through laid out engagements  
with the government and more oversight from the industry stakeholders.
