@Michoma,
You completely misunderstood why COFEK went to court! It was never to forestall the digital migration.
And it's quite derogatory to say "if COFEK people could see past their own noses" without understanding their position correctly, which the courts did!
Just saying.
And as it goes from what Brian Mblayo has said regarding LTE, it's not something that we really really need at this moment in time. Even the operators are not so much into it. Coming down to you, I doubt whether you own the Huawe E1820 or any devices that operate at that speed and if you've "tasted" the 21Mpbs speed that Safaricom allegedly has in some parts of Kenya. I am simply saying not many people bought into their 21Mpbs gimmick - gimmick because it does not cover Kenya and the modem was way expensive (KES 9,999).
So what even makes you think LTE uptake would be better, or you just want the technology to be there?
I think this is a temporary bandage for providing broadband access to the masses, here is my analysis the whitespace spectrum is using the old analogue TV frequencies that are to be decommissioned for LTE network, which if this COFEK people could see past their own noses would realize that the LTE network would be more beneficial to the consumers they are pretending to protect that mark-timing on old obsolete analogue TVLTE network already have devices in the market and international standardization using this spectrumsthus is think this is just reinventing the wheel!!my 2bob!!On Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 10:34 AM, Paul Roy <roykoikai@gmail.com> wrote:
