This morning i was at DICTS, discussing RENU (www.renu.ac.ug) as part of ICT Director's Forum. If we still have ISPs playing cat and mouse games over peering, how can we possibly be dreaming of their support when it comes to setting up a Ugandan nREN?
And if UCC doesn't care what IPs the ISPs choose to advertise, i guess the idea of an nREN becomes a taller order. Afterall, once it gets lit, members would essentially constitute a Bandwidth Consortium, and start to purchase from the open market. We shouldn't have to wave a cheque in their faces to get peering as a standard. As it is, if traffic is on a segment it shouldn't be, we all stand to lose. But if NITA and UCC can't "force" some of these basics, then woe to this nation...
