Dear Colleagues,<br><br>There is no decision yet at CCK, only proposals.<br><br>The
Consultation Paper is making suggestions for these license fees. There
are no decisions by CCK on this yet, as we are being consulted. My
advice would be: put your opinion(s) in writing and have these
delivered by 29 February, close of business, by way of petitioning the
CCK. Kenya ICT Federation will also make a submission by to the CCK
before deadline. I'm certain the CCK value your views. Do communicate!<br>
<br>Once a new regulation is passed, it will be more difficult to change it.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Marcel Werner<br>Kenya ICT Federation<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2008/2/28, Marcel Werner <<a href="mailto:marcelcwerner@gmail.com">marcelcwerner@gmail.com</a>>:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
