<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>we have ALL our masts manufactured locally (you pay
around 15 000 KSH for a proper small mast per 3m segment). A BTS is about 50m
(if you want to have the reach for rural deployments) and needs to be more
massive (done by HYoung locally).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You still nedd the extras and even a local ISP will
need a Gateway Service, should be peered at KIXP ....... so
backhauls.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We provide Franchise for local "operators" whereby
we outsource the operation and the maintenance of a mast side to a local partner
in rural areas! This gives the option to have a unified system while still
enabling the community!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We believe (as we are not a large Telco) that we
can justify to blanket the whole country using motivated local partners .. THAT
is what KDN is all about!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hey Kai,<BR> <BR>But I am not talking about a national
company here, just increasing options for the small rural ISP outreach (where
large telcos this far lack the business case justifying heavy investment you
outlined).<BR><BR>I know salaries, office rent, security watchmen, etc
are all needed. <BR><BR>BTW there are local guys who are making masts at Kshs
60,000/= each and they're great. Unless they should also be
imported?<BR><BR>Gakuru<BR> <BR><B><I>"Kai U. Wulff"
