Dear Fiona<br><br>Many thanks for this. <br><br>Following up on Yawe's point, can we get a PDF map of NOFBI to the list? I had asked PS Ndemo for this at the Kenya IGF. <br><br>Many thanks if you can assist with this. <br>

<div></div><div class="h5"><br>Hallo Listers,<br><br>Other the last couple of days there has been growing interest in the status<br>of the government build National Optical Fiber Backbone Infrastructure.<br>Since last week PS Dr. Ndemo and his team at the MOIC have been engaging<br>
operators in discussions to find the best way to maximize value on the<br>government built NOFBI infrastructure. In summary the outcome of the<br>meetings has
been that;<br>1. NOFBI is accessible to all interested licensed operators who shall<br>provide the last mile solutions to their customers. <br>2. A management committee comprising of various operators and government has<br>
been put in place to finalize on suitable pricing and ensure as many people<br>as possible have access to the backbone infrastructure and� ensure that it<br>is eventually self-sustainable.<br>3. The management committee shall share quarterly reports on the progress <br>
<br>It is the hope of all those involved that the use of this shared platform<br>will be a contributing factor to the reduced costs of internet access.<br><br>Kind regards,<br><br><br>Fiona Asonga <br>Chief Executive Officer <br>
