some complaints early difference is whether it's going to work for linking from the UK, South Africa several programs
is flashing up a segment intervention program that
previously, we deliver that decreasing Latin America and Southeast Asia and also the program advisor for the black sheep Digital Development Program, the digital access and the digital accessible bunny suit as Black Sheep digital intervention program that also runs across Latin America. The Indo Pacific is Southeast Asia and of course you have Professor lecture. I have been invited into class but I'm also conscious that as the representative of the UK
will also be responsible for offering the last look at the DGSE
first of all, I want to stand on the protocol established and recognize everybody in the room. I want to thank 6G from IDI for putting this together organizing these really important conference. Also want to thank the county Communications Commission and every other agency of government and as participating in our organizing this conference are supported their central second place, a capacity building for itself and the business model that was tested for last versions
of it are some drugs for excellent job but having said that, you could comment on continues to partner with a country like Nigeria
people no wonder why ahead doctor when you read is this sequence of partnership is on yes path including on rights of women the rest of that
chose these digital technologies
that are widely recognized as critical cross cutting enablers and accelerators for achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Because this is the case, particular interest, advances in digital innovation, artificial intelligence, about the opportunities for achieving the SDGs last year the UN said 70% of the SDGs indirectly secede from tissue technology 70% We're talking about 190 out of 100 CCI direct technologies and help achieve critical goals and climate action education from that you will also see teachers behind is a report that a 10 of the world population is completely open massive speed of 2.6 billion globally and are connected as consenting adults are benefiting from these advances in technology as it is lack of inclusive, affordable, sustainable last mile connectivity, digital interested visit skills locally relevant content and other digital services. This divide which is getting worse by viruses women and girls in the US is marginalized communities audition, this is reason why the UK is interested and continues to relevance to development. Just last week, you will launch Neil Digital Development Strategy step into the ward we're here to stay and why lovely to so delicious island we use UK digital development strategy as a deliverable of the UK is why is the content development less clearly. The UK will continue to partner with many countries or other countries of interest and partners around the world to help close the global digital divide. leverage digital technologies to accelerate the achievement of the SDGs and ensure digital transformations policy responsible and sustainable. Bolstered and from the UK. We have now launched a full fledge strategy on global engagements on digital economy. This is just far from this year 2024 to 20 that the EU UK has digital to organ strategy sets out for interconnected objectives. The UK and Saatchi over the next six years on global engagements around the subject, digital transformation of the economy, including government and society through digital digital inclusion, which is you know, part of this object from here, ensuring nobody steps behind. If you feel responsibility, ensure that GDP spaces safe, secure, resilient and the foreign objects introduce us in digital support for climate change, and environmental and we've narrowed it down to four priority areas as well. And you will not be surprised. last mile connectivity is number one reason is as I said earlier, it tells the world that's concerned for Nigeria we know that there are people in this country to have access we enjoy the year
so because of the last mile run some of us so by changing the Hugo we're supposed to at least 20 countries to reduce the digital divide by an average of 6% or What is as housing connectivity is the number one priority area for the UK on the new digital developments church also have additional intelligence digital public infrastructure, and more importantly, price analysis. Why is the UK continually interested in this? This will help us solve some of the world's most challenging challenges of our time. We look forward to continue in a partnership with Nigeria key nitrous decoders, just idea not just every single guy can step further this interested in financing this course as we will listen today on your technical fluency you want to call it the pain together our present enterprise of events in different capacities. That I want you to be united by shared vision and the drive towards achieving sustainable last mile connectivity Nigeria will this country changer challenges from infrastructure models economic realities? Challenges the UK is very or continue to partner with key stakeholders across Nigeria to ensure that Internet or tissues lattices is affordable. is safe. Secure is responsible for everybody thank you very much
Thank you so much. For
so much for your business to which is essential I go into significant changes because of that gap, so it feels as though you look at it in the context of the point of view of the SU doesn't project Inception on its agencies. We have a fantastic ally and partner, which is government. So thank you so much. Wants to be I just wanted to also measure for the Internet Society of Nigeria. So here representing Sita from Canada center for those sorts of symptoms. And then of course Funzone also Yeah, these are these are very critical stakeholders that are engaged in the development projects. In northern Nigeria I used to be so much also in order medical welcome into here
of course
not and also part of the the network of people who are also vintage. Also families our species because of course it offers benefits. I know that also last night was US acknowledging network providers. Also again we welcome all of you it is my singular honor and privilege to revise the representative executive vice chairman and CEO of So, Nina Mehta who is joining me represented by reaching out to her Yeah, welcome the head of program utilization management rates of the coalition This is here at UCSF.

Having said that speech by Commissioner will be represented by the director, General Provisions agency presented by this national conditional admission representative MD presented by NASA so good to meet Russell side of the ship from the second so the president association of Nigeria is that ajibola on all of us president here and this
is my pleasure for the conference on last mile of activity so tenability midnight tonight idea is supposed to ship for foreign Commonwealth Office as the role of the United Kingdom
I'd like to sign up government its interest commitment. Commitment has been consistent. Commission assaults and audits through digital asset program of SCP is solely focused on topical issues such as employment lack of weight and size additionally, is their focus on digital inclusion of persons with disabilities in a COVID-19 protects us position as progress support. SEC on that house has been relentless in its efforts brought to the vision is to ensure that every Nigerian regardless of the patient have access, reliable and affordable services, visions aligned with our own inclusivity and pursuit. Now penetration, the SEC simplemente service platform initiative to achieve national goal of boosting to 70% by 2020. In line with this strategy Excel from the Commission is actively relying on us to achieve a target of over 300 to 500% increase in product data by the age of 22. regulatory frameworks have been carefully designed encourages investments and growth sector open access model aspecting guidelines, staff assistance of course regulation M I promoted shared infrastructure resources people investing in their capacity and skills as well as collaboration drivers, workshops, training sessions and forum. We have an operating ecosystem and we give individuals essential skills to access, manage and used information to empower people from various social economic backgrounds to participate in this economy. Social activities online by improving the literacy community become more inclusive and opportunities for employment. Expanded contribution reduction or tittle device promoting demand for urban areas. Furthermore Justin Ferris models for sustainable productivity in partnership with international beneficent technologies.
Assists will
remain committed to finding universal access while discharging these regulatory mandates. The commission has highlighted a number of these issues. It's very nice by the presence of which independently profiles or findings come in I will place SP especially sustainable business model which will serve as a very useful resource for existing areas today as we delve into the findings from deposits are passing up. By initiative for the UK Government. We are presented with a unique opportunity is one of the side besides as deliberate communications particularly to get comprehensive analysis of skilling programs and the development of sustainable business product. I also wish to emphasize as is his commitment to developing these insights for ourselves. The SEC is ready to collaborate as as in policy frameworks expanding US security initiatives in processes terrible business models and fostering public private partnerships. Innovation remains that efforts as new technologies or solutions as pollution and other communications addition to breeding. So fast in our resolve to bacteria within this pair of qualities. We have all the management of NCC I found all stakeholders are supposed to get these stitch. We look forward to working with all stakeholders within the context of President to report who's actually sitting around by started in October and you
see deserves
thank you so much
gentlemen, and ladies,
I forgot to mention that this is a hybrid conference. Last month we have specific and I want to welcome those who are online to this one. apologize that we recognize them earlier. So just so that we know that it's a it's a conference in person on the streets, virtually so thank you so much. This is good to give some remarks.
Good
morning, everybody. This standard exists in this you will be invited to deliver Thank you The organizers of the events from universal service provision of the secretary.
My team I guess Omar. So this used to comments from online too. As the event goes on. We have as a service for the short form is a special purpose vehicle federal government to facilitate the achievement of the USA assessment service in ICT and services we also Ansara on the Santa Barbara areas on this visit value this is just to support inclusiveness and Cheryl from these you know that it's it's drilled through to the sustainable development. It as a service provision is an intervention activity at the moment. So much force a lot of effort ie just a show that it's an obligation of ICT services available in this space. And we are looking at places where the mobile network operator finds it difficult to go to them or maybe on variable or they do not see any reason why they need to go Yeah, that's why universal service provision when I was in the US, and we have a strategy for doing all this dispatchable power subsidy, we have grants this discounts because they are actually the data gaps within the system within the country. The actual fund the funds are to make provision for gaps in connectivity gaps and assess gap in the right areas. So when we look at it, we have various areas we are looking for we identify those which hold true licensed operators of SEC to go to that area and provide infrastructure there is such as when we provide subsidy. So we've done that since inception of the universal service provision for an automated solution. You have a lot of base stations for hours. And we have done rounds provided by USCIS to get right on those connectivity projects. And the reason for this is just to ensure that it is priority of the federal governments. And these are the blueprints of the history of communication innovation economy wiki in me InterDesign as well. So I'll give you some statistics to show you that we really in diversity service provision from an identify those gaps we have a population according to a water meter of about 100 million and most of this population, our youthful population, some of them wrap units, we have a geographical space of 953,000 square kilometers that which is quite a very wide last landmass. So you can account for well why is it difficult for Kratos? Because, look at it very wise is sources they have to be prophets. So that's why we look at all these statistics. And above all, we have a key statistics. Key dependent, dependable information are we using USPS which is called assess gap customer that is our major document that determines where we deploy our resources in Nigeria. They asked us for some air source to determine where we deploy this resources where counts as the system and so we look at it and we now identify that oh we need to go to a small village and do this a small village in Africa around Africa and do this population in the States.
So this is how we did last time we have the last time we did it.
The first time out of several clusters which render unto itself that is several million people in that range. Consider that gap is high. Anyhow, if we do our interview this year, it will go down it depends on the situation of things because the considers based on past hours, or they decommission the one or two places probably for one reason or the other. So we look at all these challenges. And we will just kick out with we do have some information from the country length of the data assess program content. Seo. You mentioned that is our development ambition is an accelerator for achievement of sustainable development. Yes, that is very good because we do have a meeting to identify that share impulsiveness. And it's it's a very key aspect of it as to where you mentioned, the world population is offline. Yes. And that is why we are doing all these things. And then all you mentioned that 20 countries by 2020 2030 UK already local governments will be bringing changing countries out so rich in the digital divide wants to be one of these 20 countries I want to pick out of this and that is why I will tell you that we did some good things from the walls that is so this will be looking forward to social media because part of our strategy going forward is looking at the planets sources of funding. Of these apps and work through all through with you to ensure that the soul wants to tell you that wants to collaborate. We are ready to collaborate with the IDI the the UK I am the SEIU wants to collaborate with all of our stakeholders to ensure that I sue Nolan mentioned a setting that very soon will be in the way as one thing I was in. I was in Dubai and I was rushing to meet the head of universal service provision service on the back. So what are we talking about? I was wondering, oh, is that what's that? They don't like that? Because they don't do that state. We also want our countries to call it Universal Service Fund is not the same concept that we're running here. They are looking at fight or that is really supplier of ICT devices in some places not provided or connectivity because the license operators in that area are taken care of. So I'm looking forward to collaboration from gTLD to say that I'm familiar that multilateral agencies so that we can have something all the bilateral agencies to so that we can have some data to work with. Thank you very much universal service solution for this ready to collaborate with everybody. Thank you.
Thank you so much a circuitry, Weather Service relationship material or ocean thank you so much. This is
definitely this one will also take messages or maps from others and I will start from all these are not very comfortable which we wish to save the configuration or the HTML actions that are needed. To pick up in
AS number or
Thank you This
was founded
at the National commissioner on civil engineers our petition provision says apologies for discovery they would walk every night alongside our partners with clients is very, very important discourse. Transmission is out of alignment with both not assessing before going on to talk about government is doing what's called
an official consulate for its application because that's actually mean that we both have lots of data that needs to be secure. What are parts of the data collection? Consent to assure the possession of external data to ensure that the rights of cities are well protected? How do we do that we have an app that will send the president and what this does is that to ensure the data protection and privacy of every country. It means that we go online SEO is up. I wasn't that's not just one exciting. Let me jump in the email. So phone number not the last time we have to teach so this comes in shudders but doesn't show that that was educating citizens and their shoulders. But they were secure. So in essence, we held our mission and asked us because security is very, very important to us. We are show and we had an atlas of our personal support. And collaboration. Thank
you so much.
representing the National Commission. At this point, we'll just take a short break so that you on this side can take a photograph of one of the persons after you return another meeting so that we will capture this server organize you as soon as you do that, who is Secretary This is to go for a meeting where some of our leaders are watching already. We'll do this quickly. At least for I know that we were in length and when Amanda Oh, for those who first we still have to leave before we were so again for our brothers and sisters. Who are Muslims. We know that long, however, is provisional for those who may not be involved in richer businesses of that nature, and so I invite you if you are supposed to have any children, please just proceed through consuming we will not be able to set aside time for stupid because we started teaching leads thank you so much
okay
thank you so much. We'll consider
recording in progress if
you will just take in a minute or two remarks or whatever and then we'll go into tissues so I invite your suggestion for potential
standard already established protocols that represent the NCOP that
I have listed very carefully through from
what you mentioned about 1/3 of the global population are completely disconnected. I was very worried. Essentially I was going to set is that globally, we have about 60% that are connected about 90% with about 5% global stage when you come back to South Africa, it is reversed actually because we have collected about 30% And then about 10% That disenfranchised. Now that is a very serious issue because even when you look at what is going on today with regards to the AI adoption, the Global South, which is largely African countries actually the problem because without connectivity, that's no way you can have access to data. Otherwise, you're using a person that would be leveraging on some app someone's as data adapter you probably have issues around ethics issues that has to do with your own culture and the system. And what that means is we need to work really very hard as a people, as a community as organizations to ensure that we enhance that quality, that productivity within our own space. valency backbone as an agency of yours, actually saw that you posted that collectivity first within the public sector and then thereafter. I think that's very serious, intentional approach and strategy by leveraging the strategy and blueprints function through the Ministry of Communications and individuals. Since I realized it's important to note that we need to bring in within Nigeria, the sub nationals, a set of panelists to leverage a lot. We have about 30 states that are connected to the national ICT infrastructure. But yet when you check how many states actually using this infrastructure, and that's where you said gap financing. So we need to see that we do a lot in terms of layering applications on top of infrastructure to make people to use it provide a lot of access to devices, affordable, affordable devices. Villagers can actually use this excess pressure infrastructure in their niche to do that. Then people listen to evaluate and essentially went on an assignment or Africa on that opportunity journey. itself I made it just that you will be heard. And I realized that the one that they have almost everywhere connected. So I asked them because I read once again from SEC that we do have a realisations deliberations of pharma infrastructure, which is really critical national infrastructure, almost like 40,000 of them. Given this chance to ask them how to do
something as the only woman in the village understand that that infrastructure that passes through her home is actually alive. Because simple transactions with our farm, which is outsourced to her children, and how to get access and what this means is that you know, people need to understand the value that is riding on this infrastructure. And their effect is not just about intellectually, that serves as just a good other thing that needs to be layered on it so that when you have access to those facilities, and you appreciate that, you know, there are a lot of applications that you rely on them day to day arrogance, things like that. You will you will protect yourself. Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to speak and I wish you
so what does
the CEO just give you insights into what's up in our world? I'm thrilled to have instituted chance your kindness here is we are on hold or just together for
TGS Mina was the minutes then we run this quickly. So that's the main presentation this
morning ladies and gentlemen.
Very nice to represent the choice. All right. Ladies, decided to send me the corporatization both agencies. Present.
Presentation sorry, I
want to say so the presentation of this out was both the plastic surgeon and testing this plan for sustainability for sustainable plan last slide connectivity in on the seven unserved areas in Nigeria with focused on
skills in a service provider through command line procedures and issues actually from small and medium enterprises development side. So no two of us have
spent a bit so we're gonna divide that by the presentation will create awareness of the continuous efforts continue over towards the digital community and industry penetration policy of government in the rural areas and also demonstrate the strategy your relationship between the federal government, government of the United Kingdom, the stakeholders for national development. Like I said, where I have moved from the SME Saito, the initiative will actually facilitate change or it will move a lot from our site and that we all know we we all know that. The SME that is the small and medium enterprises South Central of the economy
correlated creatures etc. is accountable. A majority of enterprises in America also account for the highest number of jobs created in the most recent is a new survey of teachers and He reveals that there are that 39.6 Isn't this if growing 16 point 5 million person that is 8.2% of level of force and contributing to 440 6% and system to one nominal GDP and alternate Escoffery. So if the SMEs are going to
be actually digitalize facilities or infrastructure which will go a long way supporting the economy. Ladies and gentlemen, as we look forward to repose presentation,
we should also remain remain we should be reminded of the power of SMEs when actually supported which enabling environment goes a long way
supporting the country's economies. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. Thank you. Yeah, so we'll just jump police here to also speak as soon as it's done to take care of myself. So mostly to go straight into this presentation. So in this video, we are going to present
thank you again
my name is cancer at the same time as your legs eg mica so it's not here is probably on his way. We can make it here as well but I just have to send him because of sign it is an outcome of this important initiative, which was possible by su highly commended, highly commended especially
Skeena business aspect of it is actually very important. You have the whole collapses. So I'll tell you that as you know data is established it tacit it is no separate ledger that we cannot be without it remove it for banking industry today. What happens so we need to ensure that it actually perfect for the brain that connectivity is very keen, especially in New York City last night to see the digital economy
the police it's actually good to have some neat articles. Now the strategic plan has actually committed to this in terms of promoting and also promoting inclusive inclusive structure and size there's no way you can carry prison infrastructure Social Services does. And that's why this oxygen will help us ensuring that next
ensure that all of
the space and we're looking forward to his vision when he said consequences last few of these we're looking forward to collaborate initiative for this edition of CQ to give it the sunny show that this outcome sessions will ensure that this is the mean space in Nigeria thank you so much
thank you so much.
So presents last So just before we will check the video
No, that's called charged with responsibility of ensuring that Nigeria of course the length and breadth of Nigeria is connected and this will be doing for the last 30 years. I'll continue to choose one thing we one thing we discovered discuss what with adults is many of them to do to study and many of them don't need to take senses to consult South South areas of our country are what we also see from this study is that they should create records or renewer ship thrived in new areas. You know, it's good to create jobs, and it's good to do a lot. And another thing which we'll start to do is that if you can have more people connected to do it you also have positive impacts on contribution of telecom and ICT sector. So this is what out
you ever was this
protocol and only service to the president of ISOC Nigeria and for us I think is one of the projects that is very genuine as long as it's because of the vision of a society that is connected and you go deeper it should be residential open and wooded. We have the of the south and north south areas and India said you know that is going to bring a problem that we all yearn for, to all the levers and as a matter of fact, so to be ethical for us in this budget. Okay, now that we are out of nowhere that have been concluded until they were discussing these recommendations that were organic, organically, you know, deducted from it. I think he's not able to account for it and for the recommendations, my question is going to be okay, what's going to be the next step? Because we're Ross, I think this is going to contribute to the servicing of the last man and there's something that that's very dear to us in interest size in the USA and Nazis community network, I believe that we'll be able to get these some of these recommendations to serve as a windfall for community network. And I want to appreciate all the stakeholders be present here, from the regulators and you know, the other stakeholders as well really support that. This is one of those collaboration that we should be adding all the time. What I'm saying is because for us to have very good results in the ecosystem, we should always collaborate our collaboration is not just another coming together to discuss issues that is a social issue, we need to take actual piece of art social and I want to employ these these other days. Let us look for a way to walk on all those conditions so that our ecosystem will be tougher. Thank you appreciate this. And we're super excited to collaborate on
this so just good to know. Very system of conditions condition.
Is there anybody here who
may have prior to my analysis? Thank you, Manager and his so happy for this program that I mentioned in search that ancc's spring, so critical roles
so now, the meat of this and I also want to please pay attention if you haven't been attentive, listening properly, please don't want distractions, and then there's a focus. This is a critical point that we get to gain so much from the service. And so it's my privilege to invite the director ECG from
so give us
some overview concerning this particular study.
Morning Thank you for having me. Also, thank you for the patience so much in the US for try to respect your sensibilities around time and still provide planning
so that
we will all help representations are will take on a project overview and then we reveal the GIS analysis, this assessment analysis
a colleague of mine
will take a long presentation on the ropes and then there was for a six month period, a live environments, function funds or foundation costs and the results of that as we discussed by more
content analysis.
So I'll just quickly proceed to the scope of the presentation of the project. Assume we also haven't read source. Want to talk too much about the gap and the CDNs. The idea for this project simply it's really about saying here, Project sizes six to align with the aspirations of the company policy and program policy of Nigeria. As of last month, the providers of service options they also acknowledged as concerns that they it also the inability of these service providers. The key question you'll find on the left on the right of the slide here, the operating environment conducive versus a ratio of these ISPs north south and south. reflexively specialisms smiles and they're talking about small operators in all seven areas. is operating environment conducive if not working in real sustainability in that spirit space.
So basically, the project was a little over two years cycle time 22 And then we did as research fieldwork, one to one engagements, the whole government wants I just want us to see. Point 4.3 We're engaged. Of course, we engage the regulators we engage competition, industry associations, consumer associations, development officials and community chiefs and getting permission Akademia. We ensure the consultants we use and the partners will have extensive experience in pedagogy because this program also involves teaching at some point and the business etc, etc.
So foundation contest,
that organization has been running systems tools, experience in these matters. So it needs assessment. Basically, the ordinary online ISP market covers appraisals because they provide services with fixed operators, a hotspot providers, I see unfriend cages somewhere there are quite a few what's also converse about Internet service providers providing assets and investment. It also covers business centers, cyber companies, companies. That is one area that nobody's talking about the commission seem not to have and they say they have a role to play and play a key role in stimulating development. In areas. The good thing as a potential by a bus the bandwidth from you guys
will get the most treats. So
is this as you see December 2023 information from this website. You have varnas premium eyes, Internet connections and mobile networks. strivers committed to traditional ISPs closest to three out of 6000 of over 1000 ISP licenses issued who have just walked by all around the country of size, geographical size population of Nigeria you have just 2300 access points. grossly inadequate demonstrates market interest. Now that some of these songs service providers have, you know, over half of the assessments and this was it was a bad because
it's it's
an entity that has no data available in the SEC or anywhere from Nazma Internet resellers. Well, that's the point the learning point from the rest of the commission is your references or the sides is blank on this piece is observations from observations. ISPs and offering the higher prices revenue to the commercial business. Government is generally have much greater coverage. There is no risk of obvious coverage and service imbalance across and then number four is highlighting. No, they are not considered was the cue from our findings in cyber cafes business access, and there should be some kind of confusion about that. So basically these observations purchase need to focus their focus which is ultimate sustainability. So our friend from Sweden, this is very relevant information control, relevance and commercial enterprise and this class my commentary providers can actually play a key role in national economic growth is was in rural areas and sub areas cybercafes ecosystem that has seen an ND array of services have been disabled stables as to how much how valuable, how productive the enterpreneur segments can be. The focus of reference and our attention which I can say this morning to keep on beating and also from the policy perspective, broken policy makes no reference to this service dishes. There's no rules against
an authenticity
as attorneys and simply as we have actually said, observation by industry vulnerability. That's a key finding. Second key finding MSPs and concerned about the business model viability of what they're using. Seeing the screaming headline of that day was agile ASP. Net and now find the actual show. Whether they are using accuser worthy or not supposedly compliant or sustainable.
There are three, three factors.
That's it impact on this issue. One, as your sustainability allocates relates to policy interventions and initiatives to support the growth of the industry. Simply because of time to recognize identified was part of the amount of sites in summary is that the SEC has been focused on discussing or should be most focused on you find this thing constantly. So as I'm sure you find the operators tend to resist smaller operators and you know, they use the idea completely insane speeds so to speak. And there's no provision that offers
protection, again,
all operators and then also found out that they have capacity constraints. So most of these projects require us to conduct a masterclass all of us to choose to cycle students across the country on almost all the talk on how to risk in as project management strategy, Protection and Advocacy, intelligence network technology, how technology options, they will also really specialized because of bandwidth customer, so they know how much you should give department they buy from the regulator from the other sides provide from the bigger service. We have to be both as a PCAP and after the handle ablative or not we have a problem with the capacity contents. One even among the ISPs themselves on the small scale, you know, they have no awareness as to what's what's the role they will play NDP plans again because they did not have ISIS and they probably have I managed to gather stakeholders such as AWS civil society, the role should be why we say SE has not done it. We resources is AFCON and COVID and most independent segments of the industry so they are not against the ISP program. So they're just not the sponsor, because unfortunately we are looking at a motion to provide operators with real with because broadband Internet condition and aspirations and tablets
an issue
that's usually what's called an evolution of assessments. So we are not we did not see that before intervention by the government or regulatory concern in the interests of this small scale operators. So you have something came up that came about and supposed to help until the end was telling you a link into studying the impact of service operations on small scale service providers in locations that how something affects positively or negatively, I cannot see any. So this is as much analysis was undertaken by ANSYS. Again, there is no religious support for them. There is just I don't want to repeat myself. Interesting one, so I wish our friends on the SPF reference will always be talking about affordability and then affordability or something. And then there's a number of affordability skill points. That's something I've always believed as lists. And it's really about incentivization of consumption to stimulate usage. So affordability is one thing that doesn't simulate the usage of political says
higher prices of the harvests. Because it's not just buy
prices. What's coming down what should be done to stimulate usage. Recommendation is that easy. Trusts passwords, you can do quite a few things. You can sell in this offer hotspots system that's around and across. devices also jump on can do quite a bit. Because of time I don't want to have this information Republic domain other colleagues have to do and gentle spray for them. So you can use visual words. It is the awareness.
Just components. So this again, is
our friends who entered the deployment space who know they're all coincidental. Split. Doctor why? Because it will be in southern southern areas. And then once a year in Nigeria, if you want to have a lot of legality, you have to go get a license from SEC license that costs 500,000
square miles.
He doesn't walk into my waffle, he
surprises
the Roman pace initiatives. So there's good policy. There's no license category has nothing on that scope. First responding challenges. Friends, we'll talk about that. And then innovative technologies are not being adequate, adequate support. ISPs are struggling, they are running with unlicensed spectrum and there are issues around that. Efforts to pay more contemporary issues is one of us made reference to TDY spaces. I'm aware that there's a policy forum on TV white spaces that have been the ministry of computers and requesting council for assistance has not been approved and so that's brings up to the next statement here, which is quite dramatic, but it's just it as it is technology evolution is doing. No, because, you know, regulation is not providing support, the Environment Policy systemic environment is not supportive of and then back to markets issue market structure, the mega ESPYS of Carozza business case of the smaller SPS, we know that let's not screw over this just need for the SEC to urgently consider setting a proper price for or for small scale biases as American
advantage companies
to address margin schools to
combat constraints we also
acknowledge recession
to have governance structures of the Chinese don't pay attention to progress. Of course rubbish contrast those understand that. So that is an area where the international
comparison in other
places. So of course, still rates of growth on top of systemic collapse on ACP, to give you information to
get more detail about are
basically classic concern is an issue. And then we our recommendation is by the agency standing up. How do you do that as a major problem from systemic the markets imbalance can we manage the assets of policy support, manage the capacity constraints and governance
is internal and they cannot be themselves.
So when divided into short term, medium term and long term I just want to make for ease of reference I want to just look at this box. This This captures what you want to do is first and foremost belongs to you. So basically we are saying things like conduct an inventory. So know exactly where where where the status of these segments. recognize what's happening, there are many floor plans for data access systems that can be done this was an opportunity for us to point out that what we're seeing here is that we have the CPI and actually have
a trade industry. Training Program is structure for ISPs mostly running
this curriculum to help this sector and what wasn't the USDA and also there are quite a few. We're
highlighting
the Georgia review to determine carry out impact analysis. And then this number four, five revealed price wholesale pricing framework. We need to get the comments that the mobile operators send us will not imagine squeeze the smaller obike as different from them and that's why we took a class on brought on or whatever because the program is due for review next year. So that the next question will find it plays a role for organizers and FCPS.
Then subsidy ag
should be a provision in the contract that says that Mondays USPS to provide support for community based operators posing as a show on days of the NCAA is just references are shown on this as of course, funding support or community is operated upon in addition on the years I have not really looked at for the past as long as that so time to go in who can use that as a basis to the possibility of a community natural policy because it fully engage them in compliance with that condition. You have to have a framework you're gonna have to look for the commission to have a licensing policy and in essence instruction or commodities, licenses. licenses as we pay some tokens 10,000 of
which would help the
process story of our lives my friends, Dr. Walters will continue from here
handled business resource availability, so kids go to one locker because what has changed you know, she's most finishing visually finished in America University. Nigeria clearly talking about this issue. So you're talking to somebody who has this stomach give so much thank you.
Thank you very much. So just let us all
as a bit of a background, we know that
operators and the nobody studies, places where they can afford it. Yeah. market oriented services were only a four year service is
got to realize that for us
to be able to meet the need of 3000 subscribers, now low income communities and rural communities. It's also possible for him to get that. So that is the other thing is that we realize now
unfortunately, the
capitalist approach, they're taught by assets to call him Internet interprets what we're seeing, and did some literature reviews. And we looked at some successful political networks in Africa, which we looked at both call and Kenya and we also looked at some proposed sustainability models that are available in the research world and that we get some insight and insight. Well, how can I send as well as business analysts and then we'll say
let's move on.
Windows which is
basically we look
at fourth and last level boilers, the sheer similar traits because they sound similar people the people that have no income. So they are they are the people that will call the undersigned. So like, the challenges that they face, we have problem with isin which our capacity they have a problem with network infrastructure. And we have problem with managing operating costs. One of the problems we have with any of these last particulars approach, where not to talk about your business model of course, they are trying to God Yeah, business
is a tricky,
tricky business. So we had that particular challenge. How many to mind that community networks and customer productivity Trinity providers have realized that they were much more willing to give us some of the secrets behind where you operate, and the reason why we decided to adopt that offer community network center also, it's very easy for you to scale up whatever results you get from permission networks were applied
last night, to provide us
a bit of a context when we were just looking at that definition, we try to look at sustainability in terms of the context here and the purpose of this exercise sustainability will be defined not in terms of profitability, but within
the context of contract.
So what does it have is not we are not looking at making profit we are looking at how do you make enough money to sustain the business does just that. Here are some of the literature's that will okay and
we moved on to in touch, we
want with this particular model, this particular model was developed by myself because of this region, and we tried to explain the fact that for there to be sustainability of quality that by and large that there has to be some like its participation. It relies solely on participation, and what are those things that participation is to be not split? What are the things that the division just
bound to bring up? Infrastructure,
sustainable stakeholder support and sustainable funding? Perhaps maybe if I go further, you get to understand what I mean by or of course, we actually and this particular this is something that came from your research. Now. We're not applied for some existing committee that was appointed, and then we'll look at how to actually contextualize it to what we are trying to achieve.
So, for
instance, we'll look at Moscow, Uganda, busco is talking panda. And he started off with is one of the first community mentors of infiltration from Africa, and it's actually very successful one and that is run by an NGO and people at the moment of this resize, you had 60 ICT centers and that site scattered actually very, very successful commercial network, and they provide all of these ICT services just to serve their communities and they kept on and one of the things that we realize our study was this talent would just submit them as characters services, and they started looking at what the community needs as they were studying and getting his cell phone they were adding of additional services and those one you're able to get as many of these services run and they are governors, the governors. In summary, they have this kind of volunteerism thing that they are doing, they are doing what they do depends on the ability of people of the community to volunteer. People are coming from outside to make money they're actually coming in because they believe in the concept of equality.
It's more of a formula.
Beauty allies that as they were doing the volunteer is the network is growing. And of course, they can add additional value for them to be able to do additional things and probably nearly add up to try to be those that try to our Collopy pain. They're just trying to support those volunteers, at least in this physics.
And then abandon again,
also this in Kenya, and all of those things that we've talked about in terms of what's possible. You got that does. Panda also was great. And one of the things that the Panda was doing was a panda is actually in a community called Cabiria. Vidya is one of the lightest models that we have. I don't know what I would call it the one very last but least slow, no so much vices and watch and wait and control of these biases is empowering to us. The users are engaging those biases. So like, they have this kind of robust education system where they were educating people to the point where the physical structure that they had for different of ICT capacity, people in the community was just too small to accommodate the number of applications that they're getting. And what did they do now? Leverage on the community network infrastructure provided online sites? Do we have like 50 people in the class I'm gonna need it. We got to have 1000 People can also fall in that same class online, and it's actually did it for them so that
was swell? Yes, of
course, as we've been some of these things are self contained devices. What are you doing, the government? And what's the government realized that, oh, we are now partners in progress. And let's say the government will just start creating policies that are favorable to your operation. So we realized that this was competent in both was going to get that as well as that. So here we have the summary of what we are planning brought out from this study these two companies, based on the study that were carried out, we were able to now expand more than that you saw the first time we created this particular work, I would call it the contextualized business sustainability framework, where the initial may we call community participation was utterly expanded. The sustainable infrastructure, sustainable stakeholder support. We will further explain what all of those things are. What is the smell when you look at sustainable infrastructure, how do you sustain that infrastructure? Of course sustaining infrastructure comes from donations, grants and subsidies are set up also, with comes from the little amount of money that you are able to make for providing services, not in terms of making profit, just to be able to sustain that that you provide. And again, also, it revolves around knowledge transfer. One of the things that we realized that this time, for instance, the book where Moscow, Moscow, Moscow was very candid. They were actually getting people afterward failing those keys the reality now I can define promises was among those, get them into business and into the
technicalities of the commandment.
And then when given as those kids are us with the advent of waiting, giving, getting more of course, because it came to a point where it gets to a point where those kids realize the potential of the cost now there's no way I can continue saying it was I need to move on. This was all problems. But then the cost is a revolving thing. It's a continuous thing as those spheres was already there. Those costs are actually coming and they will get betrayed. by those who was that good enough experience to be able to? So like it's an evolving kind of thing. So like the volunteers as the volunteers are getting more and more experience. points where they cannot continue volunteering. To go and money experiences are able to get other people to replace them. So it's your organ kind of thing. So this was one of the things that we're able to get and put up years and again, one of the good things about this volunteerism is it enshrines local ownership. It's a shrine. What is this now? If I come to water quality and ever present as a friend and calamity or people that are crossing the line is an organization that's actually helping our broader business go under optimize that and there's a kind of chain reaction to my friends go dear friends go before you go and tap on this particular infrastructure, what systems actually pay for the best and the best and you see that they kind of have a sense of ownership. of the community that recorded last mile connectivity. Last time, so like, what else? Let's move on. Now, again, this here, we were able to now identify the power of volunteerism how we're able to pinpoint so teachers that volunteers, trucks, trucks, capacity loaded into trucks, sales of ownership. Of course, revolving human capital that's always coming in. People are going as models are coming in graders coming and of course sustainable government support services that look at failing, we are doing by one so God sees them as partners in progress. So that the only way that the government is positions by providing written policies that are favorable to their operations, just like Soto rightly said, sec should be able to provide favorable policies that will ensure enshrined establishment of committee networks in July. Now low operational costs and low pass local patronage and that Schrems take older offices
attracts attracted by volunteerism sorry.
Funding Source, funding source. There are conventional funders when we go to international organizations like UK international position where ABC I saw all this multinational
foundation in the creation
of all of these facilities that are meant to connect the unconnected and without local NGOs, foundation and the foundation all of these can actually come together to be able to support these professional services and of course within the community itself. We are not saying they cannot do this. So to both still comes out. But what are our committees you still realize that there are some people that are fairly well to the committee because the coding the voice and the column these are the rich people of the community.
So lack of data also come
to support the establishment of community network of support to support the creation of community networks and of course images that are
coming from so
outside the community, just selling proposition city or people that are thirsting for all of this, then you need to do to get that up. This tape is viable, that is what that is. How have to they have to prove to them that we're viable for them to come into what what wants to come into network integrated business model so we just simply try to explain all of those things that was there after expanded and I don't want to waste too much time here. But this is where we want to waste a lot of us a lot of time is the business model canvas.
You can see from
the watch asked questions. It's asking questions on some key activities, that key partners key activities value proposition customer relationship. Now, I don't mean it's expected that you are the person that's trying to develop the toolkit for sustainable business will use these trying to find how their particular business can be sustainable. So we adopted this and we're able to come up with what we have to get how did we feel this? We fill it up from all the knowledge. I know that we got up we reviewed literature, we've looked at the sustainability model we looked at the model and we got also look at some key successful sustainable community networks that we have in Africa productivity, how we're able to fill this up, I think it is issue of identification of key matters and key process eautiful for the lscp as well as the CFO, you need to identify your key partners, of course the NGOs, your ISPs. The funders, ICT, local authorities and regulations are all your key partners, key stakeholders and community stakeholders also very important stakeholder because how do you ensure that this is sustainable, sustainable only when you have community by the community really really sees that as king in their progress? Just see the community as King their progress towards kingdom so all your key partners and suppliers of course the customer uses integration into every activity, or minutes. They want to watch a situation where community sees as a business white collar man so like doesn't integrate into the community. You have to be part of the community as the creator you have to form the compound. Festival festival in the draw that I brought and go join the dancing. And I'd say Benny, you are also bringing us on okay. Now zooming this doesn't because that people are watching us online, they're watching they're happy. So just the companies okay, how can you the outcome we know participants are confused. That means that you are going to have to survive. So that you become have the ability to have what a sense of ownership of now see as part of the socio economic and political aspects of the community.
Know how to position ICT for better livelihood or say value proposition.
Process now when
phenomena are initially going to schools that were just happen ICT centers and retraining people and they realize that a lot of online for example issues and what have you and people were having it very difficult to do all we can tell you switching system especially system that will help the community out have been able to do something in the comfort of their house in the comfort of their community.
So did the
setup plus the stances. And again, there are some merits dispositions for the task task retires license is actually integrated so that it created quarters in such a way that all of those services were actually available. Now a banking from the Community Services has been provided
continue to create
a sense of ownership for the community and one particular aspect here is the online learning for yourself. I told him in Kibera
what they did in 2015.
Again, those, they were also registering 1000s online because people can sit in the comfort of their house or cell phone. And the problem is physically present because it does about roughly 50 of Git about the last time but last compensate there were 300 people that were actually fooling us online. This can be replicated this this topic is about communities realize that people tend to see that this is very, very important to the development Tanda capacity building for us noticed a capacity in the community to build the capacity of the community and the community with a high amount of money that will be related back to the community. If somebody is coming from say, like my village to create and he goes and stays Lagos and one very nice job in Lagos as always said it is actually contributing to the financial development of the community because it's always ready to expand. So all of this is actually helping in training the sustainability of community movements I will try to stop illiteracy within sub illiteracy poverty via social biases. Gender discrimination, right you crush it, inclusion
gender discrimination
so it has come up it is endless greed is just limited by the imagination of some of these artists that can help in building folders of products and services. Each customer will have community members are given the capacity to access authorities. That give me the ease of governance and for business, your immediate wider customer bases. There's a community in Kabul where you sell
a whole basket of career to 100 now I was a flop
so let's have this bacterials that the only way out is for them to sell three 300 Naira so that it doesn't get rough
points. Number of
people here in Abuja are buying is small amount, three or four pieces for 300,300. Now, imagine if that person can expand his customer base or be able to sell all these tomatoes online. It is based on one that somebody was presenting one basket of cool basket tray inside the box bring it over
to Mrs. Money. Primaries I would say up to
3000 3000 Naira is still far cheaper for somebody to buy canceling for a 2000 Naira to go to Abuja here instead of having to pay like 20,000 for just the basket. Let's
see what's the chain effect over
a shrine community that talks in the community. Okay, again,
we went on to the area of
importance never ever assumed as progress. There's somebody that's an important member of the committee has to be put into place you have to cater for a particular person, okay. The person is
going to provide
a life lesson because it is challenging because see, so if we have a typical client, you are using 10 customers and customers is actually a very large amount for business
oriented people get
every person in the community is very, very important as you continue to try to rush this revenue stream I want to stress this. Now, what makes you what makes us think that we can not encourage communities to be able to float? Go buy more water what is the
bowtie so this event
attracts people from all over the world or festival, like the community flows an ISP or Google festival the
sell token. So talking so that people can
go
outside buy this token
now be possible to stop it
from making money from it. Yeah, also WhatsApp, the community to the outside wall.
Very good to know that
revenue stream wasn't just like, oh, sorry. I'm sorry, no collusion here at CES. I
need to change events that can be a concern on underserved communities and
inclusion. Context
represents resources accelerated to ensure continuous operational while employing Dyneema operational expenditure and capital expenditure. Now again, since sustainability of business model, based on community participants, always very important community participation in community network, and again here also we said the adoption of VLC and facilitation of leader ports and outlying areas will lead sustainability of FCPS in underserved areas across the country, and ultimately, projects such as efficient liveness of the nationality cell economy policy. And strategy. Thank you very much.
Can get some context. So this business model commerce, so we wanted to make it simple, simplified for those who are in business, like our friend who's got occasion to speak on social enterprise issues in the morning. The Chinese working organizations commercial Do you have a business model? The business model is usually a two page document. I'm sure he understands work together. Now, that business model is what are we trying to get? The comma? We're trying to say that commercial LMC pays the business and doesn't cyber campaigns and all that. So, ISPs in such locations who want to business will provide something for them that they can repeat so we went on research, that is a business model developed by Austin, Alexander Austin Weiner. So in 2015, or thereabouts, to remain on which captures typically what business would want to be guided by headlines, particularly after the competition. So he says those, so this is basically the story and this commercial oriented, the support, they have different models, you have the cybercafe of the business and I have the ISPs wise, so they are this parents, their business models, but the sales business owner was more available, like he had said was really easily could be easily scaled up. similarities, bring them together to relate them to them. actually want to see as for five points, the last four points, particularly last number three variables.
NCP is towards sustainability. Slides below show an integrated model of LMC contextualize community networks stand up ISPs, zero. business interest is a generic term. We're working to close on a business model that can apply so long as the unserved and underserved period providing connected plus connect to Internet connectivity. So we went and found the PMC, the business of commerce of Alexandria, whatever, and then we now said it will be easy because they come to us with specials, a small ISP who is business oriented to understand now big business, our friend CEOs containing the key questions who have the business model is partners, activities, value proposition for your customers. We understand so what we're now doing was to adapt these headings which are key commercial headings. With them, they can really adapt to career stories and things from a collision network into this commercial simply tends to be easier for where you want to go to talk to someone who has worked on his life or in a small ISP solving. You understand what you're trying to get at again, is a key, the key selling points in this project. I want to be able to say that this is the best, if not the best, or such initiative, sort of blended initiative that will be presented anywhere, anywhere anywhere in this country. The ULINK initiative is something we are proud of the something we are proud of Dr. Wahby Finnish thank you so please a round of applause
We didn't just end up this. We said okay, this may sound academic to all of us. We've now decided to test it to see whether or before then we have only below this volume had a focus group discussion. Experts came to believe that it was a concept zero right there don't tend to reoffend without positive tests. And our colleague Ibuka who does make templates are not actually committed. It's actually a no adequate impression data integrated with that. And came up this year to present that result
of this project from this took classes in the master class about four classes in the master class for the classes, reference responses from the passages. Know that he also helps one on the mentoring session, we have obtained students because of weeks as the case may be, so we are very happy and very grateful and very pleased with him was intervention and involvement in this project for this actually is a big one. Thank you sir.
Everybody goes I'd like to thank the organizers. FCU everybody that left the offices of the center this event on reserve acquisition. Thank you very, very much I will try and be brief. I'll try to be as informal as possible. And the spirit of valuation I will speak around new steps, everybody kind of throws on everybody. So so we will have to talk about battle partition that has benefited our use. These are people that are very interested in the digital democracy, it is something that we should as very small organization have run into as part of our services. So this this foundation has a lot of reputation. And the fact that we know that any number of things out there actually did this. test some of these things directly. Moving forward. This is just some information about them. Very interesting revelation very useful location
found that I was able to do this document. So verify this information that we shared so moving on, just buy the methodology. The festival was just as we know every of the show is sustained. Unfortunately, unfortunately, it's part of the world financial system patterns and why the needles on boards in December formalities that reject the church history bonds or in the returning on those on there. And we have all doesn't know that I'm very grateful to run this type of business. So that's what I love. Best is ISPs will almost because what is Internet for so preys on that guy's half Russia financials. So so they were discovered and then we have to come up with a simple indicator of get investment valuation. We have come up with that indicator as bought into two years ago. So I think that anybody in this room can see because the slides are then the second so I will talk about that briefly. That's basically been pulled apart from the financial social, which also looked at other social and environmental factors, because see how sustainable these networks are. So let's go to the so the first thing I talked about financial services. And to achieve that goal was simply to build a sustainable form of derivative work of dogs walk over sustainable operations as simple as that. That's just a simple reality. Ask the public to try to make sure that nobody goes below 1.2 Or five, as he does it wrong, getting more facts, but when he's not getting as high as two so you're now living the rest of our business is where you want to be one in Yasser is. Our budget has been nice to see what's the effect of having a high wage bill. This was the effect of well increasing the future because that is what's how it's very, very simple. We first of all, look at the ISPs to work with are these actually a real environment the real place in 2000 for maintenance and swelling since 1900 Stevens so Stevens very, very important thing by the shows that it's something that was brought to make sure so homosocial provincial community cities around it so you got this the bills are very, very good. Nobody considers what belongs to the province. So it's not something they pay. So, but what I call that, just as the previous speakers have spoken, is that the purchase Internet for a job for different degrees you decreases of the purchase wanted by four so of course, we have a total cost of
so we'll have them discuss around
revenue. So this was what was this about? The FSS make decisions to be clear so that it's more visible as capacity. for July, things are starting to ramp up. You'll notice from October when board starts increasing. So as you might have seen that between June and September, some type of forming an organizational candidate subsidiaries subsidies we've already done between June and September. This is all the way so once this is commendable, I won't find another it's a number that's commendable to the presence of good numbers. arrows show when as a rookie, what will happen in the future, this will sell out so we have to do some form of forecast for 2023 December down to 24. So that you do this podcast imagine there's a decrease in well, let's
see network is so bad because you cannot purchase the cell one megabyte one gigabyte that's one reading scenario.
In our process, it sounds almost insignificant towards here. Increase of 29. However, most of that is we attempt to increase the wage you try to move it away from foreigners into something that was also syllable. So tested to see effectiveness. So that's one so the first thing we did as I said exposures would be for the women to get something like this right this is purely for Tracy AS number similar similar to other features. And also they will see this ascendancy number between 1.3 and 1.4. Still, it was still manageable, something that's important. As you want to increase in progress, you just want to be visual experts. So what we need those auditors will discredit us better when the system is not in the system. What we now saw was that number drops like last time he was
so that you don't run on regular by using why they have to buy for some brands, some regular laptop, some transportation. So we got that. So it's really a decision is given the shakedown. So what was it we saw that we saw he dropped from number three to number nine as the average of that as well what this particular answer was in future.
Business
just one busy let's see.
Let's see. Effectively also known as Bezzina, for 1.3, passing through less than 1.15 which is significantly lower than comfort. So what does this mean? Cn is not necessarily CMOS, assessing. So this has been sacked for it's a good business when you employ people and then there's this one responsibility for overhead is not necessary. Not just above one boss because it was our favorite sustainable. However, there's a theory that I say because we have a professional maybe, maybe better than us with us. Maybe also have whatever workers operations even maybe just that will not necessarily just interest this person
then the Empress doesn't necessity
so this outlines for just just just so that we see that sustainable business model environment
FSS, which is something that literally anybody can practice
anywhere, gets the watch when it gets inside accounts. So bear with me material. The base also mentioned that we talked about supplementing, and I said for power, just participative parameters of, of well, the wrong material so that not necessarily on any of these are people now doctors about the community or the other way.
stakeholder management if you don't go to the governance the opposition if you try to if you've got business have a way of positioning so similar monuments very important. So the fashion community or personal foundation a check to make sure that we do
this four times. Therefore, about releasing later tonight, you won't see me do that sound as if I didn't take any chance to speaking of I know that. You also have a lot of women, okay.
I think this will be an interesting story. I have a lot of women networking for them. Most of the stuff that we said as more women also took out Guess
what? Yes. What is that most of the researchers in the community are from community leaders. So powerful the fact that the community is also integrated into this. So there's no way that she will sit our watch. So you'll see that all the data was placed to make sure that this this or this year. is completely reset it or closed off possible. So the relative is a good place to start dating
somebody already so it has been demonstrated last month research providers in non service areas can be sustainable periods. Where sustainability is not substitutes This is not defined in terms of profitability, context of continual provision of service guided by certain infrastructure, sustainable stakeholder support sustainable, sustainable participation, assumed it's all business obligations. So thank you very very much. Thank you for
this lesson give
is this is one of the events just a tip we invented that I wish that everybody who is an enthusiast development equal to myself several intuitions as to how much Ada was the worst combination with you? Audition, which was established also with the child to bring was an ambition. So how do people sustain resilience? Because it is also defined by special metrics of what makes you want the kind of things that it's info for me, I'd say sometimes the audience that will don't get them at a time. I don't know what we're able to see the point I'm trying to make, because two points. So here's the challenge for me as a communication person how do we get this out about people trying to improve the quality of life? This is the challenge for me which are discussing with my own bosses. See how can you into it out of this process and be able to fuse the lessons of this study in a way that also apply to augment our vision which of course, when I started, I already knew view of how we're all connected. Because this has to get to the people who need us. Last Mile. You're on the south on Sunday. Please let's just clap.
To quickly whether there are questions that people want to call on resource president to respond to that and then we take take comments from a CTO, representative about the offices and all that things. So please, just simplify by a give a raise your hands if you have questions, or need clarification in any area of the presentation so that I can take them quickly and thank you
example that I mostly see that presentation is one on one which is not understood. Your willingness to really
grab your barbershops and just invite
sold have some remarks or do you want to discuss something? Remember, we have online purchases, I don't know whether you have questions. So that's fine. So there's a question from online participants. We preach the fee when choosing a P GW considering that most communities will require drunk connection to power all the traffic Do you understand the question? What do you want to do? Thank you
Yes, can you hear me
Yes, yes. The question came from
COVID. So the question is how do you bridge the bulk of which isn't considered in most communities? So there are two things. This in our brief, we didn't have a problem inhibits a key problem, a key tool for modules who is employed by the big operators who sell the cell capacity to the smaller ones. And it's also it's a problem that this will be addressed is also something that that shows absence of attention to nationals that are friends that have industry understanding the Connect model. You have the isometric interconnect system if you understand our friends from the SEC to operators to
computers exist and
I'm going to show business less than rates for the tier one operators, which is a reflection of the status and bulk and scope of services slow traffic, that is what operators are carrying. You want to protect them from a number of issues. Now, arguments are continuing this argument has always been that similarly because bandwidth is a wholesale platform you also access those products that is critical for service delivery in underserved and unserved areas. So pumping in abundance is an instrument for monopolization of competition, so bandwidth costs should be addressed should be carefully looked
into by the regulator. Will you do that? You will now say okay, Mrs. Bamberger, do the study, and say these are the samples MCP.
On southern supplements is how much you should abandon if it was 500 from certified those specified kind of operators with an MCN on the work also.
This is not
esoteric console will tell you that the amount of money is spent on bandwidth the bandwidth received from a mobile operator in that area, as well as the quality of the division Karuna pies from the
service provider
is better than zero financial assets small scale and CB is not consistent. That is the reason why there should be some remain individual in fixing bandwidth costs of them. Now what we now need so what's there's an issue with
brain tumors? That is a part
of whatever doesn't have to be at a cost of backhaul. It
still is not
just that issue. Of backhaul has not been addressed ascension, if you get cost of acquisition is what has been taken care of acquisition has been heavily subsidized one way or the other. What that call is still is today you you will have to that's that's one area that's is still to be cracked. Did we do in the course of this project, I did say that beyond the core bandwidth beyond the cost model beyond the all this representing today, we have a master class. And then the master class are a number of subjects taught over two years across the country across the 6G Dozens. One program that was taught by the
brain to evolve provide us how they can allocate costs,
because elements
of their operations activities that are impacted by bandwidth are driven by boundaries. Called cost based more than also have done with the connection of money, the connection between networks, mobile networks, sometimes its cost base modeling costs, real costs that are attached to every element of your operations that relate to bandits are driven by bandwidth available and that's it if we can be determined to say okay, this is the cost center located across that's what's all those KPM Gemco devices. Some you are looking at cost to them, then aggregate the cost and sell it for every minutes it is XYZ it also converted them motel and then this in our records such
as this issue
says the next one says I don't read a book initially from Paula says resource advisor and quite crucial. I would like to note the resources reflects on the costs associated with it intimates that is browsing at this source, investigate them about okay free in comparison with the open areas again. You know, like I said this, when we think needs assessments, it's about 85 page documents. Each of these aspects very presented in detail, because because of time address the matter kept on having a sizing that is meant that this segment of industry equals the regulator. Now it's area what you can do again, back to costing as a way to manage money in telecommunications, measuring how many retail customer conditions SSE prescribes sex crimes return serves as the you know, now there's some kind of discussion because it says that you present the service providers and they have inputs and the consultation offering terms or if it's just as pre approved as it gets. Now, what typically will happen is if you are looking at location base, if someone is providing service in these areas, underserved areas and kids there should be some kind of subsidy can come from the USB if somebody has themselves from the sun's over themselves. What's typically is what's progressions ideas. If you have innovative products, you know come as a surprise. If you meet this threshold, we'll give you a public As in the nearby reference section that says that the commission should support competent bass operators, it is similar to like this, okay, whether there's any kind of subsidy. So this overhead costs, like the bandwidth cost I was talking about a generally is use, you know, backhaul costs, rather, those companies factored in managed under subsidies provided
by the USPS.
So a lot can be done by the USPS. And we will try to get
to one is, is there an existing or other ways where the community network can augment?
Okay, let me know can have something to say the term out? Again, let me say that's the way the committee that if, if you within the division of ISPs solely provides Internet services, first of all, there's conditional requirements. And typically, you should get some kind of authorization from the regulator to say, I authorize the book and provide the service. Now that authorization, again, because of time, that authorization will tie you in because of our training or funding options for me. We said, if you have an alteration, or you go to association for progressive communications, or one of these agencies for funding, and they say, oh, that's the right endorsement for the regulation. This is the happier to permit you to surf the
web.
Now, there's no reason that the CMS, this was this systemic, systemic issues, they need support in this area. They don't have like an MCN wants to go to the bank, because the US does raise your license to show you guys and democracy. Okay. So that is one, you don't have one requirement, you must have the biggest have in place. And most of them, most of them don't have they also try to ask your travel data back again to the same concern I was raising was that a doctor? When doctor referred to our Google festival, it's like this, practically what you as an us function is doing, you're selling Internet access capacity to the batsman, to the consumer, whether the same thing, smile is doing the same thing. MTN is doing the same thing. This case, it's a location, location, and the scope and my capacity to enter then you break it down by the by 100 terabytes of capacity, break it down into sub sub serving as tokens to the you know, in the communities that so technically they are providing Basma connected. That's the right of last mile. Plus my comments. They do that well what Dr. Oz represents that there are innovative ways they also have to be innovative
in providing a service
from the SES you don't have to be Joshua was speaking when he was at events equipment better into the service from your work group. And they are the biggest the largest and possibly loudest group in Africa. Now we are from I'm from the south on apologetical A couple of books, the layout, so the two big things of goods sold and a lot of titles and things they have equals if you're a head of a committee and you can pass out their egos that source of funding that refer to that for you get a lot of money from them, do your best for example, you will now say okay, I'm going to strip the contents then our call anybody in the building us or so so give a shout out to the church in our well and they want to give a shout out to you help me avoid and then you put this trim down no doubt that arose each and every one of businesses is happy serving two purposes. Yeah providing contemporary Nazma connectivity you are addressing bringing the diaspora together and the amount will not be Naira
is going to pay you us as the
spinal cord challenge. So inherently we are saying that there is inherently a commonly upheld LCB operation in the onset all of a sudden, inherently systemically if you know, if you are innovative in the way you present your, your your your offerings and like allergies has no subscriber, there's nobody in that community that does not have value to add to that network. Salesman.
Thank you must be, which DMA no license. We need a commission. That's the second question stampers Is there a population range to obtain 1.15?
So we'll go answer. The first one is no, no. The problem is,
the issue really is that Bae Bae Bae Bae Bae Bae Bae Bae Bae Bae Bae Bae Bae Bae networks
are not doing as much as they should in serving themselves areas, which is where commitment was coming. Metro manager is not going to start thinking of looking at one blind young guy what often see what value is equal to is thinking of one big man is going to be given by one boy or one woman I saw this problem. So yes, they have some semblance of presence, but their services are priced out for the same as you haven't been paying for voice for Internet reception. overseeing that because Internet incentive and this order of choice are not today, who cannot approach using the transports as it should. So governments USPS MOC, it all should come together to talk politics. And to support establishment sustainers and growth of sea and settlers is those divisions to make it easy for anybody there. Okay. You don't have to live with there was a stopping innovation of your village.
Address Rula
for the neural networks are not designed to do that. So I know that I'm sorry, what's important. And that's the USP of one another, they can develop the concepts to encourage the use of mobile app builders to build out positions. Yeah, but I was managing this process offensively, and we came back to him, we don't want your own, didn't like, what happened, what the point is that the business as a business as a commercial entity has looked at that and say, I don't need this money, what is trade as a go to? My friend, Noble Metals are not designed or not designed to, you know, are not programmed to service community service communities. Thank you. Alright, so
a book icon on board, and they don't really want to say, Okay, so let me just say these three on my own PC, more than three years.
So what I have in this, and I'm sharing this, because of the connection and so forth. Eventually, we change doesn't matter what customer says you will have three levels of the product and it is it is right now, but there was no way to procrastinate. I'm
trying to get us to understand the point that Mr. Vogel has made. So most countries in Africa already tied to each region. In fact, Nigerians, you know, we're helping to get radio stations on and we were like the last few months to get the last the chat.
What was the basis for what good is only to region is defined by community ownership. It is a developmental tool that you see next as yes, that has been proposed because If you have a Debian so do procedure to set a broadcast station, that's a TV
costume.
So it is the fact the fact of the existence of this. And so what as you said diversion programs is to ensure that we have people who are driven by the profit motive we know, because if you're not a profitable, that's where introducers will come. So, because only to read you as the last mile, so to say now of broadcasting, that was that the purpose of community you can use your language other than English. You will set up a management team, you know, you have already development organizations associations, as we find it, you can start with what you can afford, in some areas not supporting other countries in Africa to catch on to on YouTube video, such as Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta. Because Thank you, because you do not need more than maybe April Fool's seconds to to, to do amazing podcasts, to assuring the culture of
new practices to inform them of how the
MRI scan report was, was ever seen in reverse this is in a Corona model may not ROKUS. It is also an opening because it is essentially Public Broadcasting. So the third category is still not solved by probably going by federal government way to remember that establish FRC and that was by reinstituted at a police an old Joseph fortnight before President because
we got to get over. So when
we use that opportunity to get
out judge rejected from a job or to our struggle, unfortunately, because this as opposed to national protesting coalition. So this local made reference to the legal issue that cannot operate anything. So as was mentioned, as much as the Civil Law refused to accompany properly to seek license to operate. I don't know what else I've said admissions, I just feel that there's a balance between what happened more than 10 years ago, well, before the focus, I just want to strike the issue get TELESAT because we're talking about development, and I know that this is where work will not undermine it. You understand for us telecom? By constantly I'm sorry. Thank you very much. Business simply means that for every little forms, space operations are going from 1.15 points at the minimum. So when you're looking at a population that more research has happened in nearby school or nearby community facilities, they help us please, seekers of consumption hustles money just as we all do, when I was there, my mother helped us to watch the code that will make this change. Well, this is just some level of productivity. So we want to set up a committee. Yes, there should be several things that
they want people that is
as enjoyable as well as possibly then they will understand that no matter how small all outfight
connects, seems to just get this way. Doesn't get this way. On paper. In about mobile mobile every unit of phones spends one hour bracing 1.15 So, that it can sustain that business
my understanding of darkness to know whether
we really need students the person just wanted to say right now, we are looking at some of
that cannot afford which provides a set of people cannot afford conventional masks improvise with trees 12 years now, I just searched the cost of the obtaining the license
it ranges from $5 million
dollars the smallest one through 500,000,091.2 feel
in the license chocolate infrastructure so, community networks must there's no way about every NGO was some cities because even in cities we are concerned. So, we understand our skill set him for yesterday I was trying to certify him how long did it take us through was a tiny
pause just for
a minute if I have a community network in my interior in general where we leverage on the quality of skill we have to have fun with our capacity and we have our office manager to the network
says Kansas
City's purchasing
policy or to
forget briefly is an easy availa Brazil also all of these cities and they look at environments and how to solve problems not not not as seen have any of those
windows are not solid so out again now to control community networks and in fact
ISOC cannot you write with your
business partners that the animal should do that?
talks will now come back
if if if if if if you 50 5050 5050 Just visiting
us buying one terawatts What if we just like that person to buy they will be able to buy whatever
they want
and there's one terabytes abundantly available that is like everybody is helping each other to give to buy bulk on the look of this I'm going to show in first one separate when I was trying to send you all from morning to evening training it was when I was
living so yes it'll be interesting
Indians actually sub sub scope scope of people that MANRS Nobody thinks that it is not one. No can decide no by Virgin in those days virgin, virgin, mobile hot To be used as it as a niche with Nigeria. And I want to build this, I want to be funky. I see the value that sorry, Sammy the youth is providing things often. We are chartered to not be used in a village youth in Portugal's youth in the youth in Dhaka community, also mobile communities in Abuja, here were some big no. So within the scope of that top of pyramid where vehicles operate as well as enables, what's this CNS and LSAPs are actually addressing the bottom of the totem pole downtown
in your sub sub.
So MVA knows have nothing to do you know, science communicators are not affected, there are parallels and vehicles.
Thank you so much. Because those need to be saved to augment that sponsor.
So that's it. Thank you. Thank you very much. I will not take much of your time again, because I consider everybody's faces. I think one thing has really pulled out community networks from the presentation. And the good news is, we did do some work with the NCC team last year, I actually would set up my information technology development with the Association of progressive communications, APC and other key stakeholders to develop what we call a framework, a regulatory policy regulatory policy framework for commitment proxy metrics in the draft. So we're in conversation is doing a lot of engagement back to back meetings discussing it, it hasn't gone public yet. So from our side comments, we're happy because that has come front and center. And I just mentioned it to Dr. provoca about it and you know, Sheriff, we just left that we're happy to
pick up that conversation was was was was was was was was was was was was was was also support to advance
and get to the point where Nigeria now have a full policy framework or community network so don't talk about that. I'm happy to engage you on that conversation. To get the sources we need. I want to thank the team from IDI I want to thank the NCC and other stakeholders in the room will have their different offices to come up we'll continue to pan on stakeholders across Nigeria don't take it very much I would say
