now that East Africa is a common market, and for those who operate region-wise, shouldn't be a good Idea to have atop level East African Domain e.g. .ea (.co.ea)?

Very interesting. We do have the European Union but I still see most of the countries still use their own country TLD. As much as I can see, only tech companies are adopting .eu so far. So inasmuch as we may push for the establishment of .ea, I don't see quick adoption to it. I think it does not add any value to the integration, bar for the identity itself, but someone can prove me wrong.

Am sure some Kenyan companies that don't want to be viewed as "foreign" in UG and TZ would appreciate that too.

And still on the region , since East Africa is a duty free market, why are phone calls to UG and TZ not charged as local Inter-operator calls, but as international ones (ama the customs union was only on the ground?)

You'd like to see a call to UG being charged cheaper than a call between Safaricom and Zain? Yawa, aren't you being too ambitious? Where do you expect the "Mobile Inc" to make their money? In content and other services? I see it coming though... mwendo ni pole pole.

I'd also like to have car registrations unified, and either done by the UG or TZ agency. I am tired of ugly plates from Kenyan prisons!

actually I meant that Safaricom should charge the same across EA as it charges to call Zain, Orange etc while Yu would charge 6 bob across EA.
