[kictanet] On Access to ICCK Minutes - Universal Access Fund

[Matunda Nyanchama]

- Can this be covered under "access to information"  'principle' in the recently 
passed constitution; my recollection, and correct me if I am wrong, is that 
parliament will enact a law on access to information and requirement for 
transparency for all government entities/agencies/commissions/etc etc. I presume 
this would cover ICCK

- On telecom infrastructure financing, the Canadian model may be worth a study; 
every telco (actually customer as telcos pass this cost) has to contribute to 
this fund which is then used as an incentive (e.g. rebate, tax relief, etc.) for 
those telcos that invest in new infrastructure and/or operate in areas where 
telcom profitability is low. (NB: their debate on the matter was back in 1996 
following deregulation.)

Baadaye.
