[kictanet] [ISOC_KE] New Rules on high speed Internet out

[Ali Hussein]

Interesting point and I'm intrigued on how this will be executed. I I think Ndemo and team kicked this off with the undersea cable project and the NOFBI project. 

There are already assets, networks that can go into this PPP. Possibly collapse the moribund Universal Access Fund/Board into it?
