<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Walu, Kwach and all,<br>I read the discussion and analysis about broadband costing with immense interest. I belief that the stats below can enrich and contribute in putting into perspective what we are talking about in a nutshell. I have lifted it from a paper am reviewing. I therefore see CCK's plate quite full in making sure that we consistently move towards the direction of affordable rates. <br><br>Herbert<br><br><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CHERBERT%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><title>Development Informatics Working Paper no.42: The ICT4D 2.0 Manifesto</title><o:smarttagtype

<p class="Default" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua";">Broadband is already an integral part of ICT usage
in the global North. In the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>,
for example (one of the poorer performers), by 2008, there were 25 broadband
subscriptions per 100 citizens, and 55% of households had broadband,
representing around 90% of all Internet connections. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua";"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua";">By contrast, the subscription rates for most
African countries including <st1:country-region w:st="on">Ethiopia</st1:country-region>,
<st1:country-region w:st="on">Ghana</st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Kenya</st1:country-region>, and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Uganda</st1:place></st1:country-region> were well under 0.1% of the
population. Tiny <st1:country-region w:st="on">Andorra</st1:country-region> had
roughly as many broadband subscriptions as Africa's most populous country, <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Nigeria</st1:place></st1:country-region>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="Default" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua";">So, as we start seeing digital divides closing
around Internet access and mobile phone ownership, a new broadband divide is growing.
This is already – and will continuingly – require a strategic response which,
if not led, must at the least be coordinated by government. As and where this
happens, the development results will be impressive. Broadband uptake is
associated at the macro level with growth in indicators such as employment and
GDP, and at the micro level there are many new employment- and
productivity-enhancing opportunities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

from Safaricom. One thing i noted with concern; are such products developed/informed based market research, i doubt if ordinary Kenyans would have made such proposals. In my view, this is like pushing products/services down the customers throat. Even with those "wonder speed", COST is stil a fundamental factor especially for the SMEs under which majority of Kenyans fall. One fact is the operator is ignoring the public expectations - speed without cost is just but a fallacy. Thank you for making the GDP comparison which the operators and regulators always ignore, both should aprreciate internet and information are basic needs if we have to achieve the 2030 dream and as such those in the sector should not just be focussing on being declared the highest tax payers. Could someone from Safaricom let us know whom they were targeting with such offers?<br><br>Have a blessed week<br><br>Akich Kwach <br><br><br> ----- Original Message -----

Almost like in the US -BUT the US GDP per capita is about 50times higher than .KE. So we must adopt some weighting to get the equivalent pricing in kenya.<br><br> Put in another way, Kenyans should work towards 50x less the US monthly rates (of 100USD) for broadband internet i.e. 2USD per month for unlimited broadband internet. It wont happen tomorrow, maybe 2030? But am glad the
operators are tweaking all possible combinations as the 1st step in seeing how to move in that direction...<br><br> walu.<br> --- On Sun, 10/25/09, Bernard Mwagiru <<a ymailto="mailto:bmwagiru@gmail.com" href="/mc/compose?to=bmwagiru@gmail.com">bmwagiru@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br><br> From: Bernard Mwagiru <<a ymailto="mailto:bmwagiru@gmail.com" href="/mc/compose?to=bmwagiru@gmail.com">bmwagiru@gmail.com</a>><br> Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Safaricom to introduce unlimited internet service<br> To: "Skunkworks Forum" <<a ymailto="mailto:skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke" href="/mc/compose?to=skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke">skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke</a>><br> Date: Sunday, October 25, 2009, 12:55 PM<br><br><br> Thats Kbps not
