  2. On the agenda: implementing Uganda's newly enacted cyber laws, the promise of cloud computing, social media's reshaping of citizen engagement, broadband affordability, and SIM registration and mobile security.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Held in a tech co-working space, it captures the civil-society-driven early years of the UIGF \u2014 participants pointedly asked government to show up more in ICT-sector dialogues, foreshadowing the ministries' later regular presence.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
