[kictanet] Update on National Optical Fiber Backbone Infrastructure (NOFBI)

[robert yawe]

Hi Fiona,

Thanks for keeping us posted on the progress on the process of leveraging NOFBI, 
I would like to just raise 2 issues

1.  In your report point 2 mentions government and licensed operators, how can 
the consumers participate?

2.  Is it possible to get an up to date layout of NOFBI?  

Regards

(NOFBI)

Hallo Listers,

Other the last couple of days there has been growing interest in the status
of the government build National Optical Fiber Backbone Infrastructure.
Since last week PS Dr. Ndemo and his team at the MOIC have been engaging
operators in discussions to find the best way to maximize value on the
government built NOFBI infrastructure. In summary the outcome of the
meetings has been that;
1. NOFBI is accessible to all interested licensed operators who shall
provide the last mile solutions to their customers. 
2. A management committee comprising of various operators and government has
been put in place to finalize on suitable pricing and ensure as many people
as possible have access to the backbone infrastructure and  ensure that it
is eventually self-sustainable.
3. The management committee shall share quarterly reports on the progress 

It is the hope of all those involved that the use of this shared platform
will be a contributing factor to the reduced costs of internet access.

Kind regards,
