My previous comment on "Using Skype in Uganda" is now being referred to on an Skype forum:

Well, I better pay attention what I write :->
The official position can be obtained from the Uganda Communication Commission:
http://www.ucc.co.ug/faq.html
So, basically only UTL and MTN are allowed to offer VoIP:
"An Exclusivity Period was granted to these two national telecom operators in which the provision of what is termed as protected telephony service was restricted to these operators and those other service providers licensed prior to the beginning of this Exclusivity Period to provide the same services. This protected telephony service consists of basic telephony service (real time voice communications including voice over internet protocol - VoIP), Cellular telecommunications service and satellite service. The Exclusivity Period runs for five years beginning 25th July 2000."
