First let me welcome Dr. Yonah whom have worked with previously in
Tanzania and has done alot for his country to transform ICT.

I honestly believe TZ has the cheapest access to internet. I do not
need to read all the literature but based on my stay in TZ, UG, and KE
I have enough experience to make this bold statement.

I like the document shared by Yonah clearly arguing his case based on
concrete facts.

Lets not believe these half-baked research from the so called ITU. We
know the truth from the ground.

Dear Walu,

Are you suggesting we approve with open arms the mammon called
dollarization?
I am just curious!
http://clknet.or.tz/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/PB1-Dollarization-of-the-Tan=
zanian-Economy.pdf/

We surely have a long way to go in creating our own information even though
we have our own knowledge about issues like this.

Keep thinking and discussing...

Regards

this is where we go wrong. We (East Africans) pay top-dollar to be members =
of ITU and then we consistently ignore their research output for various re=
asons - including lying :-). In which case we should at least stop being me=
mbers and save the money for something else. Incidentally, ITU has been aro=
und for donkey years doing policy research in telecomms and we should at le=
ast give their report some little respect and attention.<br>

<br>
But if we doubt them, we should produce alternate research like what Eng. D=
r. Zaipuna O. Yonah, PhD has done with Research ICT Africa report- whic sho=
ws that actually .TZ has the most affordable internet services. From the qu=
ick reading of that I can see that perhaps what Research ICT Africa failed =
to do was that they did not "normalize" their figures.<br>

<br>
What this means is that if a coke or any product is 1USD in the US and it i=
s also 1USD in Kenya, that coke is still considered more expensive in Kenya=
 because of differentials in national income levels i.e. they are not equal=
ly affordable . Put differently an American finds it easier to spend the 1U=
SD than the Kenyan would.<br>

<br>
So if one was to "normalize" the Research ICT report against nati=
onal income levels, we would most likely arrive at the same (ITU) conclusio=
n.<br>

 This comes as a suprise. One would have thought Kenya and TZ<br>
 by virtue of "owning" the International Internet<br>
 conne Submarine connectivity/Gatewyas at Mombasa and Dar<br>
 respectively, they would offer the cheapest Internet costs.<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 But according to the latest 2013 ITU report that has been<br>
 tracking and measuring affordability of internet, UG is<br>
 ranked no 139, TZ at no 143 and Kenya at no 149 globally in<br>
 terms of affordability.<br>
 <br>
 <br>
 <br>
 Cost of broadband internet in Kenya is put at 49% of the<br>
 Gross National Income(GNI) compared to .UG at 32%.  Put<br>
 differently it costs an average Kenyan half(50%) his salary<br>
 to connect to a broadband internet link. In SA it is about<br>
 4% of their GNI.<br>
