Hi people, I'm doing some research and would like to get the cost of operating an international gateway in various countries in Africa. Where would I get this info? -- Regards, Alex
Ideally via the repective countries regulator websites. Google is a good starting point. The Anglophone countries should be easy, but you will need some skill for the Francophone, Lusophone and Arabic countries.

Have been googling but some guys just don't have online presence. Just news articles from some funny agencies. I thought there's somewhere that info is found at one location. On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 2:46 PM, Brian Longwe <blongwe@gmail.com> wrote:

@Alex, sry could not reply earlier but when you mention about Int'l gateway licenses, your research should start at the Telco level. It's only Telcos who are allowed to operate such gateways and those that can are lucky to do so a liberalized telco sector. If a country has not liberalized its sectors, then you will not get anywhere. Licenses vary from local, regional and international services and there are tiers of operators. Am glad your research will show you how advanced Kenya really is and that the Telecom sector is wide open to investments. This my friend, is not to be found in many countries where monopolies are protected by political decisions because Telcos tend to be the economy cash guzzlers and dumping grounds of failed policies and un-audited corrupt practises. We are quite ahead of others, thanks to those who saw the vision of Kenyan telecoms earlier but unfortunately licenced operators are the let down. Now that the new law gives the regulator a fist, things are going to change for the better. This is my sincere hope that we are now evolving to a better stage rather than being held back. Anyway there is no need for me to be spammy, pls do share your experiences of research. :-) On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 6:07 PM, Alex Ngatia <alex.ngatia@gmail.com> wrote:
