[kictanet] National Broadband Strategy

[Catherine Adeya]

Robert,

The National Broadband team confirmed there is typo error. Of course 40mps is way below. We already get much better speeds with mobile connectivity. It should have been 40Gps which can be delivered by FTTx. It will be resolved.

Best Regards,
Nyaki

Hi,

I recently went through the National Broad Band Strategy documents where it was indicated that we intend to achieve a connectivity speed of 40 mbps in urban areas in the next 5 years.

This might seem like quite an achievement but starting today some of the Internet users inChattanooga, Tennessee in the USA will be experiencing 1 Gbps speeds to their homes, it seems either we are aiming very low or the strategy is a cut and paste from an era long gone which is a clear indication of what happens when you sit in a dark room and write a strategy but with no organised group to turn to for assistance what was the other choice?
