Hi Wesley,
Local loop = point to point circuit.
Am not aware of any ISP that provides a LocalNET product/service.
Your best option would be to buy a local-loop service to the KIXP and peer with everyone there. At the rate of $75 per MB on KDNs Fiber, it might be worth it if you are buying more than 1Mb of capacity. 1MB is the departure point where Peering becomes cheaper than buying Transit from any provider in Kenya.
HTH,
Michuki.

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?
