I think the best way is to explore if the copper lines can be used with new technologies (especially in remote areas) even as we adopt new technologies.

Ethiopia and Tunisia deliver high speed data over wireline while here in
Kenya we have allowed France Telecom who have management of Telkom Kenya to
basically neglect and "throw away" our copper plant - and yet it could be
the basis for providing affordable high speed access to hundreds of
thousands. The new government *must* review this counterproductive
"strategic investment" from France. Preferably show them the door and let
us rebuild our national carrier. Full story here http://ictafrica.info/

Hi Brian,
The article doesn't seem to disclose full information, is that the correct
picture. Be that as it may, Telkom Kenya has issues and my take is the only
way to resolve such issues is reviving the letter and spirit of
multistakeholderism that brought the many gains we are enjoying in the
Information and Communication Technology Sector, its unfortunate that
sectarian interests have eroded the unity of the community but i think this
holds the key to resolving the challenges you have pointed out.
Best Regards

Happy Wednesday!
It is good news to learn that countries have been able to with what they have even as they consider/adopt new technologies.
More often than not, it seems that we must throw away the older and adopt the new (and it is a cycle) which makes it seem to be more commercial-profit driven versus on the outcome e.g increase penetration, reduce cost.
Or like the CDF? projects that are left halfway when a new MP takes over as each regime tries to gain its identity.
It is unfortunate that in Kenya, there is no active and genuine voice of advocacy that may keep the interests of all players.
Years after they dug up our villages with cables with a promise of cheaper accessible internet, this is still not the case.
Institutions such as ISOC have the golden opportunity to be the voice for the people, guiding hand to the private sector and the eyes for the government agencies.
Have a pleasant day.
Regards/Wangari

Wangari,
Good points,
I think we should appreciate the fact that the recent gains in the
Information and Communications technology have been a result of continuous
engagement between Civil Society Organisation, the Private Sector ,
academia and the government. A good number of erstwhile crusaders were
hired or engaged by the government or government related institutions and
for obvious reasons they cannot raise their voices as it were previously,
that brings in the issue of mentorship, i beleive this should be our new
frontier, its good to note that our new president is on social media so is
his deputy which might signify new ways of engagement, i think we need to
study issues and raise areas of concerns on the different lists we have and
debate them for clarity before presenting them to the concerned parties be
it the government or state related institutions.
My 2 cents
