[kictanet] #KeIGF15 Online Discussions Day Four: Management of Critical Internet Resources

[Barrack Otieno]

Listers,

The thread on Management of Critical Internet Resources is still open
as we move forwad, feel free to contribute to the discussion  as we
move along.
In the mean time , i  would like to know the current state of service
access gaps. The last map i saw on the National Broadband Strategy
document published in 2013 showed that close to 50 % of the Kenyan
landmass lacked any service, it appeared as if most Critical Internet
Resources were concentrated around the key towns and Cities, Nairobi,
Mombasa , Nakuru and Kisumu. I wonder if this has changed. Was
implementation of this Strategy Document  taken over by the ICT
Authority or is it water under the bridge.
