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. On Apr 10, 2013 11:20 AM, <isoc-request@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

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.
