    "content": "Presently, mobile operators largely own and operate independent infrastructure assets such as towers. Sharing of such infrastructure facilities will reduce the cost of providing services to the consumers and translate into low tariffs. The taskforce will make recommendations in this respect. Spectrum charges are presently set by the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) at the point of entry. The Government has steadily been reducing spectrum charges. The Government is considering placing such charges on a revenue sharing formula. The taskforce will also review the proportionality of the 0.5 percent charge on the annual gross turnover of each operator for universal access fund. How to make management of the Fund more inclusive, transparent and accountable will be explored. Finally, the law is being reviewed to instill stiffer penalty, including custodian punishment for persons found guilty for infrastructure vandalism such as theft of copper wires and cutting of cables. The Kenya Police has been sensitized on the problem. The local authorities who grant way-leaves have been instructed to ensure the security of the cables. Thank you."
