[kictanet] Harm caused by ill-thought out WCIT proposals to developing world

[Wambua, Christopher]

TIM and Listers,

The African Common Proposals (which Kenya through CCK has been involved
in their development)are available on the CCK website at
http://www.cck.go.ke/links/consultations/Public_Consultation.html

CCK is inviting comments on the review to the ITRs to enrich the African
Common Proposals (ACPs), and where necessary, to develop national
positions ahead of the WCIT-12.

The African region is meeting in Accra, Ghana, this week for third
African region preparatory meeting for the World Telecommunications
Standardization Assembly and the WCIT-12.

The revised ACPs that will come out the Ghana meeting shall be uploaded
on the CCK website to keep the local ICT community and stakeholders
fully apprised on what is happening in this space.

CCK is planning to convene a stakeholders meeting on WCIT-12 after the
Ghana meeting (and after compiling comments on the African proposals to
the review of ITRs) to discuss the final proposals that Kenya shall be
taking to WCIT-12 in Dubai. 

I hope this sheds light on this matter.

> Report author Dr. Rohan Samarajiva, founding chair and CEO of
LIRNEasia and former telecommunication regulator in Sri Lanka, finds
that proposals contributed by ETNO and the Africa region could
artificially raise the cost of network interconnection, content
delivery, and quality of service, and that these costs would ultimately
be passed along to those least able to afford them or would result in
exclusion from the Internet economy.
