[kictanet] Universal Access?

[Francis Hook]

Abt 2 years ago CCK tendered  for a Universal Access study and I
believe it covered some of the issues like having a GIS driven system
to assess all sorts of infrastructure (elec, post offices, GSM, fixed
networks, fibre etc).   Also to define what parameters (and which
organ) would be used to disurse the funds.

Did this study take off? Anyone on the list from CCK who can enlighten us?
