National Broadband Strategy… the missing link

21st Century Infrastructure Knowledge Based Economy Foundation for Konza, BPO, School laptop projects-DLP Economic growth and job creation

Technical Working Groups

• Five TWGs were formed based on thematic areas/topics:
• Infrastructure, Connectivity and Devices
• Content, Applications and Innovations
• Capacity building and Awareness
• Policy, Legal and Regulatory Issues
• Finance and Investment
• Goal of TWGs was to develop understanding of the core issues,

concerns, needs, and opportunities for enhancing broadband Each group concentrated on its key focus area/topics, with the aim of producing specific action-oriented recommendations to include within the overall, integrated Broadband Strategy.

• TWGs addressed basic questions in relation to their focus area

topics.

• TWGs were allowed to modify or expand these questions as internal

deliberations proceeded, to cover all relevant issues and ideas.

Technical Working Groups

• Each group addressed the following basic questions:
• Status: What is the current status of broadband-related deployments, investments, market

development, and/or policy frameworks in the topic area in question?

• Trends: How fast or effective have broadband-related developments been advancing in

Kenya? What is the near-term outlook for further progress?

• Needs: What are the most critical gaps or needs that must be addressed to accelerate

broadband growth?

• Constraints: What are the main constraints that inhibit more rapid or widespread

broadband development in Kenya? How could these constraints be overcome?

• Stakeholders: What are the stakeholder entities, public and private, are in the best position

to take effective steps to promote broadband growth? What could/should they do as highest priority actions?

• Linkages: What are the key areas of interdependence and mutual cooperation that should

be explored among stakeholders?

• Economics: What are the key economic characteristics of the needs, opportunities, and

initiatives identified: what will they cost, how will they affect market demand and the economy as a whole?

• Recommendations: What specific projects, programs, policies, or other initiatives should

be carried out to achieve maximum impact?

Content, Applications and Innovations

Structured well funded ecosystem to generate innovative solutions to enhance access to digital content Availability of local digital content Increase eGoverment usage and digitization of core Government registries

ICT curricula aligning skills with industry demands Integrate ICT in Schools Establish ICT centers in all wards Mandatory ICT training for all teachers

Capacity Building and Awareness

Mandatory ICT sensitization and media education from primary level

Capacity Building and Awareness

Key Issue Objective

Broadband Policy Develop a policy framework for broadband Institutional Reform Establish agency responsible for all public ICT infrastructure Spectrum To provide a comprehensive spectrum plan and timely information on availability and allocation mechanisms National co-ordination in complementary infrastructure deployment Amendment of Roads Act to provide ICT infrastructure along and across roads and railways. Amend the Building Act to ensure property developers make provisions for ICT infrastructure Way Leave Fees Eliminate / maximum thresholds on way leave charges Standards in ICT infrastructure deployment Develop and enforce minimum technical specifications for all fiber deployment

Policy, Legal and Regulatory Direction

Need for Policy, Legal and Regulatory Interventions

Current Practices Tomorrows Future

Key Issue Objective

Universal Service Fund Operationalize the Fund to support expansion of service in high cost areas Trust and Security Revise KICA 2009 to designate ICT infrastructure as critical infrastructure Draft laws on Data Protection, Access to information and Cybersecurity Open Access Policy framework on open access Affordability of ICT services (Energy & Roads) Review legislation to make specific provision for rebates for energy and road deployment Provision of categorization of ICT services as high energy users (special tariff) Infrastructure Sharing Develop and implement Industry Code of Practice

Risk Level Type of Risk Mitigating Strategies

Poor implementation of the Strategy Broadband :Limited capacity

• Integrate Strategies into Performance

Contracts

• NBS co-ordination by competent

personnel Lack of supportive Policy and Legal framework

• Advocacy and Lobbying
• Government agency to operationalize

legislation Spectrum Availability

• Expedite digital migration to free up

spectrum for broadband Slow uptake of Broadband Services: Lack

• f relevant content, lack of awareness

and low ICT literacy

• Implement content and capacity building

strategies

• Subsidies on devices
