Listers Kalasha awards from the Kenya Film Commission is an important recognition platform for Kenyan media talent. As the show is going on, it was streamed live online at the request of the Commission CEO. The CEO approached us at the ICT Board to assist with live streaming. Two sister agencies under the Ministry of Information and Communications working together. The Kenya ICT Board approached Homeboyz who then provided the livestream feed over the internet. Opportunity for private sector to leverage this event for marketing is clear. Opportunity for entrepreuners to leverage this and any future event. eg some clever chap may have made a commercial argument to a bank targetting the diaspora, etc.. all entreprenuer stuff really.. What is an opportunity in future is for tech savvy marketing entrepreuners to sell the live stream feed as an advertising opportunity targetting the Diaspora. In order for entrepreuners to do so, they obviously need to be tuned to what brand advertisers need. As I write this I am listening in to feed , reading the Twitter and Facebook updates of these event and getting a sense of being there even if I was not able to. Fantastic stuff. Enabled by technology. Once we do this on a grand scale, we can create even more enterprises around understanding consumer and business needs. Asante..

Hi, How does one get connected to KIXP and what are the charges, we run a website, yes locally hosted, but unfortunately the experience is different depending on the ISP the client is connecting from, at times we have noted traffic being rerouting through the international link because a particular ISPs KIXP pipe is full.
