[kictanet] Internet Giants form new Lobbying Group - Internet Association

[John Kariuki]

Alice, Listers
 
My ICT regulatory class lecturer once told us:
" If you see market players,who should be competing(read -fighting) seating together and agreeing on the way forward(read-pursuing common self-interest),then as a regulator or consumer,you need to be worried!"
 
Enjoy,
John Kariuki
