<p class="MsoNormal">Listers,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will carry on with discussions on Infrastructure
issues,
feel free to comment on other threads as we move on. Today we review the
impact
of the Unified Licensing Model. ICT industry stakeholders gave the
Communications Commission of Kenya the green light to implement a
unified
technology licensing framework. We may all agree that to a good extent
the
regulator has done well in so far as the promises it made are concerned,
however there has been a lot of hue and cry in the industry lately as
players
flex their muscles using the provisions of the model to gain the most in
terms
of market share, however according to David Rogerson a technology expert
Unified Licensing is no Panacea, in a article posted on <a href="http://www.ovum.com/go/content/c,62120,68257" target="_blank">http://www.ovum.com/go/content/c,62120,68257</a>, he points out the fact that Unified Licensing
model will
not magically transform the moribund fixed networks in Africa or
elsewhere, as
to whether we agree or not�the floor is open</p>
