By the time of publication, however, the policy included significant
revisions taken from public comments submitted by the private sector,
academics, and civil society groups. According to a press release issued by
the Communications Commission of Kenya, the ICT Policy --will replace
the Telecommunications and Postal Sector Guidelines of December 2001

Kenya.|| Kenya's ICT Policy was published as official policy guidelines on
March 31, 2006.
