Abstract
The Association of East African Communications Organisations (EACO) is concerned with network development and regional inter-connectivity, while promoting the development and application of Information Communication Technologies (ICT). One of the key functions of the Uganda Communications Commission, for instance, is to collaborate with educational institutions including National Research and Education Networks. There are no legal or regulatory impediments to granting licence/ authorisations to NRENs; however, because a level playing field has to be maintained, all applicable terms and conditions would be applicable.
