[kictanet] LTE/4G and the state of broadband and Universal Access in Kenya

[Grace Mutung'u (Bomu)]

Mwendwa,
Thanks for this discussion.
Universal access gets complicated when one company is ahead of government
in providing access to remote areas. Such a company will definitely
want/deserves a say in how the fund is managed.
So on representation to the USF board, let private sector and civil society
also have seats. It would be a good balance of interests.
Regards,
