The PS said apart from four mobile operators, there were two fibre optic cables, 84 radio stations, 19 TV stations, 143 postal and courier operators and more than 70 Internet Service Providers.
He said ICT regulatory regimes worldwide are moving to create frameworks that can ably deal with convergence, electronic communications and infrastructure and services, as well as the growing availability of broadband.

This is very true..esp Suffericon. the call set-up time is really pathetic. KPLC is another huge fleecer of the public through inflated power bills. They need to be stopped! Where are the Consumer Protection associations?

You must understand where you are coming from and where you are you.USA is not all that rosy when it comes to simple services like Mobile.America mobile companies deny citizens many affordable services compared to Kenya.Good example is health bill where you can see Republicans legislatures fighting reforms which will help common mwananchi.So i support price caps and no one should tell our government what to do.They have failed in their own countries.Not all advice is perfect anyway.

We need to get this high speed internet issue right the FIRST time. We are light years ahead of even Americans when it comes to innovative ideas but we are almost dead last when it comes to access to resources and collaboration with the world out there. Mazee! We could shock the world if we really got this right. Ali, Phillip, Charles; We need you guys to lead well this time. Just lead! Don't play games with my children's inheritance - a fruitful Kenya.

Talk Talk Talk Talk. I have heard all this before. How about starting with KPLC whose profits nearly doubled yet elec production? I paid Ksh.16.12 per unit of elec last month compared to Ksh.4.24 roughly three years ago?
