[kictanet] KIXP connectivity

[Philip Adar]

Concerned,
At one time CCK was considering establishing GIXP (an idea which could have
resulted into a second IXP in kenya), and so far; the project is still
bed-ridden at the tendering stage.

At this point, the industry requires positive direction and support from
government policy makers. It is clear, something need to be done urgently.
