[kictanet] Airtel wants piece of Google, Facebook revenues

[Mwendwa Kivuva]

Thank you cdohnio for this. It makes policy makers more open to discussions
on Internet Governance and it's relevance in or local landscape.

As you are aware, the Kenyan IGF to be held on 31st July 2015 at the
Nairobi Stanley hotel will have a panelist to discuss openness. Among the
themes on openness will be "Net Neutrality". What directions should Kenya
take on this issue?

It would we great for the community to see discussion from the Regulator,
ICT Authority, Business (Google, Facebook, Orange, Airtel), and the Civil
society. This would make an interesting duel.

Pop-corns anyone?

Warm Regards
