With all due respect, I believe I to have a right in saying no to GOVT involvement and opting for another way to get this resolved. Knowing the history of the Internet in our neighbouring country Kenya, would rather there be no hand of GOVT involved at all, if any, let it be so minimal that it does not contribute at all to the running, management and maintenance of .ug > Isnt the UIXP operating very well with UCC's assistance?

There are requirements for interconnect for all ISP's, which fall under the mandate of the UCC. If you desire, you can set up your own IXP as a private individual and have all ISP's interconnect through it and charge what you desire... All that UCC cares about in this case is that you connect with peers. Lets compare apples with apples. -- Mike Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a million chances happen 99% of the time. ------------------------------------------------------------
