[kictanet] Taking the digital dividends to the constituencies for prosperity

[Collins Areba]

Interesting read, I actually have a question:

What is the current state of Business Process outsourcing in this country?
I remember there was a time when this was a tune everyone was singing as
justification for landing five (or is it six) submarine cables. A few years
down the line, have these industries taken off? Is there quantifiable
lessons to learn from these? Do the same , or more business opportunities
exist for the same or different kind of platforms?

On making access affordable and available, Would it make better sense to
expand the mandate of Kenet? To somehow tap into their experience to have
them extend internet to schools, polytechnics, etc, and provide more
funding (government, USF, Private sector) in a single channel to manage
delivery of connectivity to academia.

My $2.
