Asked on another list and sent here
"A colleague is doing some work in Tanzania and experiencing high
transit costs. Are these controlled by Gov there or cable operators?"
Was told a Mark Tinka who lurks here might know and have some answers.
i’m not mark, but a place where you can ask where there _are_ network
operators from tanzania present, and who could give you an authoritative
answer is the afnog mailing list (https://afnog.org/mailinglist.php).
depending on how formal an answer you want, a good resource to question
additionally, is the tanzania isp assocation (https://www.tispa.or.tz).
ttbomk, prices are not controlled by govt. of course cable companies
control prices invariably, based on their idiosyncratic charging rates,
but if you’re asking if there’s collusion to keep prices fixed at a
particular dollar value, that answer is no.
