You are all the same people who argued for the end of telecom monopoly how were those questions answered ??. Yes they have invested but they have also earned. All i'm suggesting is that .ug is a national resource and though it is run on a "cost recovery basis" we should use some of that revenue and plug it back into the community.

The problem here is that most of the respondents here believe that this thread is aimed at wrestling the control away from CFI. My intention is to hopefuly change the current status quo for the better of all but not to replace the current cctld. We unfortunatley even if we wanted could not do it since you do not have a resource to do that. We have not done any capacity building. sharing second level domains would enable the country to build that capacity. _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
