Well; with regards to the guys who have "laid" their own infrastructure; wudnt it be better that they do the following:

• one company lays eg in Nairobi East; another in Nairobi West; another in Nairobi South; and yet another in Nairobi North
• each company will have covered 1/4 of the city (instead of repeating infrastrure in same place several times)
• at which point the companies can do either of two things:

           (1) lease fiber in the other three Nairobi areas and charge lease to others for their area
           (2) OR better still, dont charge each other for the four Nairobi areas; but charge lease for Companies outside the partnership

• Then all they have to do is aggressive fight for end user clients; and the numbers are growing; instead of taking huge Capital Infrastructure loans and paying  for 20 years

My 15 cents.
