[kictanet] Broadband plan gives FCC wider cybersecurity role

[bitange at jambo.co.ke]

Harry,
We have been working on ways to secure our Broadband Neteworks.  The very
early draft policy (attached) is ready and we need your comments.  We are
developing an organizational structure that would take care of cyber
security.  Our biggest headache is how to attract the critical personnel
considering the fact that we keep on losing the best staff to private
sector.

Regards


Ndemo.
