<div dir="ltr">Hi Kevin, Good observation on the Community Networks as a way to increase access. I hope your follow up questions will be answered. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On the wider digital inclusion debate, I usually think about the mobile phone, and how it has demystified computing and bridged the digital gap. In the 2000s, learning "Computer packages" was the in thing to get introduced to the world of computing. But
today, any Android phone will do that for you. It has a browser, document editors, video editing, etc. It allows my Grandmother to install apps. Long are the days when Installing an antivirus or Microsoft office was a geek thing. The mobile has made that all
simple.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So for digital inclusion, the most important thing is providing the tools and infrastructure to allow access. Affordable devices, and affordable Internet. All the rest shall be added unto us.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards</div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Listers,
<div>Thank you Victor for sharing this discussion with us, my focus on Digital Inclusion is on Access and Affordability: Community Networks might reduce this gap;</div>
<div>From this discussion <a href="https://www.kictanet.or.ke/?p=37878" target="_blank">https://www.<wbr>kictanet.or.ke/?p=37878</a> I found this: </div>
<div>"<span style="color:rgb(85,85,85); font-family:"Open Sans"; font-size:14px">Community networks represent a valuable alternative model that deserves to be explored to improve access to Information and Communication Technologies to underserved communities
worldwide.</span><span style="color:rgb(85,85,85); font-family:"Open Sans"; font-size:14px"> </span>"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some unanswered questions were also asked in that discussion:</div>
<div>1. What are the government regulations on Community Networks</div>
<div>2. Are there any licenses required? Spectrum License or Operating License?</div>
<div>3. Why has CA been silent on this topic?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have also realized that KICTANet recently hosted the local Community Network Global Inception Meeting, more here
<a href="https://www.kictanet.or.ke/?p=40352" target="_blank">https://www.kictanet.or.ke/?p=<wbr>40352</a>, any insights from those that attended? How come our very own TunapandaNet </div>
<div>did not attend? </div>
