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

[Grace Mutung'u (Bomu)]

Hi Barrack,
Thank you for the questions.
Another scope gathered in a discussion on devolution elsewhere: someone was
just telling us the  role that County Governments have in infrastructure
development. To lay cable or set up structures, one needs some licences or
clearances from CGs. And these can get costly if one is carrying out a big
project. So, if County Governments waive these licence/clearance fees that
reduces the cost of infrastructure by 50% plus.
Regards,

> 2. What is the current state of fiber optic cable across the country?
> Is there any redundancy on the cables laid across the country?
> 3. Are there policies in place for infrastructure sharing to avoid

> 4. What is the state of IXPs in Kenya?  are we in retaining  more
