I beg to differ: - Cheap is relative.
- I feel there is just no way of getting the product to be cheap. ISPs just buy Internet pipes and resale them. They are expensive right from the source so there is no way an ISP can sell them 'cheap'. Perhaps a charity... - The way the ISPs typically make money is by sharing out the pipe to as people as possible 'cheaply' - We are trying to get it to the customer 'cheap' by encouraging efficient use of the an expensive and scarce resource Perhaps things will improve when EASSY gets here in the future.

TK From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 16:20 To: Linux Users Group Uganda Subject: Re: [LUG] Re: New MTN Broadband package or 'better' yellowline Well, I think it is high time that "consumer" (I would rather say "user" but it depends from which point of view you are ...) build a group and try to share their ap it is a fact that a cheap connexion with relatively good quality does not exist in Uganda ... so yes from the user point of view "consumers" are robbed .. :-) my 2 cents 2007/6/19, Badru Ntege <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: been silently reading the thread and it kind of highlights the disconnect we have as users. The last email more or less drives it home. The ISP market in UG is open with a number of players offering a variety of products with variable configurations and equally variable pricing. The client should thus understand the offer and choose that particular service that meets his/her requirements. So MTN has chosen that it's products will have a download cap and you have a number of choices. However on the flip side some other providers have non capped products. So it's time the consumer decided on the right march. If MTN have made a judgement problem the market will let them know. But do not blame them if you knowingly pick their product with the limitations they have told you about and then turn around and say " I was robbed". my 2 shillings _______________________________________________
