I doubt you would need a license.
Many organisations (Large private companies, Banks and Government
entities) already do this
They have upcountry offices connected by leased lines to the head office
And the upcountry guy can get email and surf using the head office link.
You doing dial into the head office and having the upcountry office
surf off your "head office" link or exchange email would be the same
thing
The only difference is that instead of leased lines you have dial in
lines
The problem (and possible licensing issues) will come if people PAY
MONEY at your upcountry office to use Internet facilities there.
If members of the public walk into an office of yours upcountry and
PAY MONEY to access Internet services then you need a license because
you are selling a service.
My two cents

Hi all!
Just wondered, if I could pick your brains on this one:
I am the IT Manager of an NGO. It is just 1 1/2 months since I
arrived and previously this NGO has not had an IT person, but have
relied on its international IT Dept.
Right now, IT services are only present at the national HQ of this
org. At a later point we are going to connect regional offices up
as well, and maybe local in the long run. But as a humanitarian NGO
with focus on the human work here, we do not have many funds for
internet access, especially in the rural areas of Uganda. And it
would be exorbantly pricey to get even the slowest DSL line into
every local office we have.
Right now these offices rely on visiting internet cafes where
available, to cater for their mail and internet needs.
So I am contemplating to set up a small dial-in service. In the
beginning for the regional offices, but in theory there is really
no other limit on this ability other than availability of enough
phone lines and time to allow every office access as well as phone
costs.
The main (and maybe only) access would be to our Notes email
services. We have limited bandwidth at the national HQ to supply
web access to "the outside" at the moment.
Would we be required to obtain an ISP license for such a set up?
Thank You in advance for any reply or thought on this.
