I really like the point where you said the Kenyan government is leading this conversation on digital infrastructure.
So is that something that, you know, we're having, you know, constructive dialogue? Yeah, it's important.
And, you know, we're not averse to regulation, but it needs to be done in the right context.
Because, you know, if they want to charge us... heavy license fees and all that, on one hand, it could be a deterrent for further investment.
But what we're saying is, in return for us complying with all that, at least make sure that we are treated as the right category.
And just I'm on your side because we've seen a perfect example during a certain war in the Middle East.
I guess, you know, it's high time as we have this hyper conversation around data centers in Africa, then the next step is on regulating and assigning them that critical infrastructure.
