in the design, development, deployment, and management of shared infrastructure as a common resource. They are managed democratically by group of individuals and entities such as NGOs, local businesses, and/or public administrations.</span></p>

but this also requires an operating license from CA. <br>
</div>
<div class="m_-9195521079424686506x_gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">I would not say CA is silent on this, the community network movement in Africa is quite young, although we have networks for example in Zambia, Uganda, and South Africa that have existed
for over 5 years. In those countries, all have operating licenses. At this point, what is needed is more awareness on the role that community networks play in connecting communities that may not make a good market case for traditional ISPs/telcos, also on
the impact beyond access such as digital literacy training and catalyzing the local economies.<br>

Hi Twahir,<br>
<br>
You may want to consult Michuki Mwangi from ISOC or Josephine Miliza<br>
from TunapandaNet in Kibera who are experts on the subject. I think<br>
some guidance from CA on the matter will also be usefull, our good<br>
friend Mr. Wambua is always at hand to clarify such issues.<br>
