Or the very arms in places that be that have continually tried to shutdown websites hosting the Uganda Laws for all Ugandans to read??? I'm sorry but this just does not add up.

Forced by the govt to have their organ as the sole route of Kenya. Needing a license from CCK for every sub-domain of .ke... are you quite sure you desire this and more that is not mentioned?????? Joseph, let me ask you this, if its developing our Internet in Uganda, why is that most of the hosting companies in Uganda do their hosting in USA? Why not focus on something that actually does enhance Internet in Uganda for example, infrastructure than chasing the .ug around on the pretext of it inhibiting the growth of our ICT sector with the current owners? -- Mike Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a million chances happen 99% of the time. ------------------------------------------------------------
