[kictanet] Fibre Optic Cables

We are working towards that.  We need private sector to push these developments.  Government is not good in business.  We can only intervene to facilitate especially the small enterprises.

Nothing against all the big guns establishing in Kenya but what about a long term objective 
of building our own version of Akamai,googles, Limelights etc. 

Dont forget the real winners in the knowledge era are those who produce their own not use 
others. So our long term objective should be to have our own alongside others because it is 
a free market economy.
