[kictanet] ITU/ATU and CCK in closed door meeting

[Fiona Asonga]

Dear ICT Researcher,

TESPOK exists to create the balance between the individual service providers' private interests and public interest. We are keen on issue common to the service providers and that are likely to have an impact on the interaction between the service providers and the consumer in ensuring service delivery objectives are met as detailed on our website : http://www.tespok.or.ke/index.php/aboutus/achievements.html

Does TESPOK exist for public interest or service providers private interests?

	Hallo All, 

I have a question to CCK/MOIC (Government of Kenya) 

It turn out that the ITU/ATU and CCK have had a discussion in the last one week at The Hilton Hotel Nairobi on Frequency Spectrum pricing models and Digital migration that is 'seemingly secret'. I use the phrase 'seemingly secret' because when one of the regional regulators asked to meet with TESPOK and we showed up at the meeting an hour ago; ATU/CCK sent Hilton Security to kick us out of the discussion like there was something we were not suppose to hear. 

Can ITU/ATU/CCK please clarify what was being discussed that the rest of industry should not know about? What is wrong with TESPOK sitting in as an observer if we don't qualify make any contribution to the discussion? 

If our regulator and partners take to kicking industry out of such discussions where does that leave all the progress on stakeholder interaction we are striving to have especially in view of the new constitution? 

Kind regards
