[Skunkworks] Local Loop: Clarification Needed

Hey ppl,   I need a clarification on what a local loop is. I was at AK some days back and the lady dealing with this told me that a local loop doesnt really mean internet that's restricted to Kenya, but a connection between e.g. branches of a company/organization. Therefore if I wanted to buy bandwidth to host local content, which would be restricted to Kenyan traffic, then I would buy at the same rate as international bandwidth.   If that's the case then I think this hurts the budding local content industry.   So the point: Define local loop?   o_O?
