Wed Mar 14 15:21:34 EAT 2018

If this is the case then further investigation needs to be carried out to establish the truth. Any player in particular( name and shame ) trying to influence the introduction of the said levy

>> Hurricane Electric (http://he.com <http://he.com/>) , or HE is a global carrier. (more like a carrier of carriers). HE is a breath of fresh air when it comes to connectivity. They do not price the product as if it is made of vibranium. HE also runs a lean shop, as a result, their prices are in the order of thousands of percentage points lower than you would get from anyone locally. 
>> 
>> In fact, they price internet lower than anyone prices a local loop from Nairobi to Kilifi. (Pity we cant get HE anywhere other than EADC, and operators are moving in their droves from the usual suspects.  Which is somewhat the problem and gist of this post, because the usual suspects are not happy. 
>> 
>> Hence my question. 
>> Might anyone in this list (particularly from CA) be privy to attempts to introduce another levy for anyone interested in getting services from an operator in EADC?
