01 — The problem

Thousands of operators. No shared record, no shared voice.

Across the country, small operators run hotspots from shops, salons and trading centres. They buy bandwidth, maintain equipment and sell data in small bundles to people the big networks overlook.

But each one works alone. When bandwidth prices change, when equipment fails, when regulation shifts, there is no list of who is affected and no single place to hear from them.

02 — What this is

A register, a tag, and a line of communication.

The Connectivity Project keeps a simple, verified register of hotspot operators. Every registered operator gets a unique identity tag that they can use to confirm their membership.

Through the register we share updates, organise around common problems and represent operators as a group when it matters.

03 — Our goals

  1. Count every operator

    Build the first reliable register of hotspot operators in all of Uganda's districts.

  2. Negotiate together

    Use our combined numbers to get fairer bandwidth and equipment prices than any operator could alone.

  3. Share what works

    Pass on practical knowledge on pricing, equipment and reliability from operators who have solved the same problems.

  4. Speak with one voice

    Represent operators in conversations with regulators, providers and local government.
