[kictanet] After Access report launch

[Ali Hussein]

There must be something seriously wrong with these statistics.  We know for
a fact that CA Statistics are exaggerated (for example they use sim card
connections as a unique identifier as opposed to say Identity Card) - And
CA can jump in here and correct me if my assertions are wrong. However,
even in the wildest dreams, I can't believe that our internet penetration
rates are that low!! 26%? I'd rather go with the GMSA report which gives an
indicative figure of around 70%.

Maybe this report alludes to Broadband Penetration? That would be a lot
more believable.
