The East African Internet Association
-------------------------------------

The East African Internet Association (EAIA) is a
not-for-profit group formed in April 1995, seeking, by
pooling resources and sharing experiences, to promote and
expand cooperative electronic communications and
inter-networking in the East African region. Its members
include the majority of electronic service providers,
serving at least 3,000 users, in the following countries:
Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Partner
networks abroad are also members, as are a number of
interested individuals. Membership is open to all interested
parties for a nominal fee. The Association is in the process
of being officially registered in each country.

Good progress has been made in improving and rationalizing
regional network topology, lobbying international fora and
sharing information on new technologies and developments in
the region.

Kenya-based members are considering sharing an Internet hub in  
Nairobi.
