Listers, Good morning, I'm reading this story on Daily Nation, www.nation.co.ke/News/Blogger+denies+abusing+Mutua/-/1056/1485226/-/10imd12…, and accorind to the charges, Alai violated the Communication Licencing Act. My questions: 1. What exactly did he violate in the Act? 2. Where can one get (a soft copy of) the said Act? 3. Is this law same as the Kenya Communication (Amendment) Act? Thanks

Craft Silicon to Relocate
by robert yawe 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

Hi All, Yet another nail in the Konza coffin with the imminent departure of Craft Silicon to Singapore as a result of the finance bill which gave tax incentives to imported software and no corresponding incentives for local developers. http://www.nation.co.ke/Tech/ICT+firms+shun+Kenya/-/1017288/1483212/-/1sy89… At this rate Nokia will relocate Virtual City to Denmark or Singapore if we continue to allow our laws to favour foreign firms at the expense of developing local capacity. This development pours cold water on the recent establishment of a research lab by IBM as those who acquire the skills will not be able to be competitive locally. More disappointing is a statement by Huawei Kenya representative, Wind Li, that such incentives to foreign software developers will challenge locals to be more creative yet we all know that China shutdown it borders to foreign participation for over 50 years which resulted in their current positive growth. He added insult to injury by saying that removal of trade barriers is always good for a country's business development, this statement sounds a lot like what the western governments kept preaching to us during the height of the structural adjustment program. Regards PS. China is now making it clear that they are here as the 3rd wave of colonizers of Africa.

China: US must hand over Internet control to the world
by alice＠apc.org 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

And speaking of our KeNIC, do you recall the un-delegation of .iq. (Dot Iraq) sometime, here's a view on that from China. Best Alice From "China Peoples Daily" http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90777/7915248.html US must hand over Internet control to the world (People's Daily Online) 11:10, August 18, 2012 The Internet has become one of the most important resources in the world in just a few decades, but the governance mechanism for such an important international resource is still dominated by a private sector organization and a single country. The U.S. government said in a statement on July 1, 2005 that its Commerce Department would continue to support the work of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), and indefinitely retain oversight of the Internet’s 13 root servers. This indicated the U.S. decision to retain ultimate control over the global Internet, which enabled it to unilaterally close the Internet of another country. A suddenly paralyzed Internet would definitely cause huge social and economic losses to the country. More and more countries are beginning to question the U.S. control over the world’s Internet as the international resource should be managed and supervised by all countries together. However, the United States has conducted a pre-emptive strike, and refused to give up control over the Internet in the name of protecting the resource. The refusal reflects its hegemonic mentality and double standards. The United States controls and owns all cyberspaces in the world, and other countries can only lease Internet addresses and domain names from the United States, leading to the U.S. hegemonic monopoly over the world’s Internet. During the Iraq War, the U.S. government in 2003 asked ICANN to terminate services relating to Iraq’s top-level domain name “.iq” and then all websites with the domain name “.iq” disappeared overnight. The United States has taken advantage of its control over the Internet to launch an invisible war against disobedient countries and to intimidate and threaten other countries. The United States have repeatedly called for “protecting Internet freedom.”In fact, it is only protecting its own “Internet freedom” even at the expense of other countries. Ten of the global Internet’s 13 root servers are located in the United States, and the U.S. government can supervise the Internet for national security reasons according to the U.S. law. By doing so, the United States actually gains access to all information transmitted online, while other countries can do nothing about it. Ultimate control over the Internet has been an important tool for the United States to promote its power politics and hegemony worldwide, and any other country may fall victim to this. As a big country on the Internet, China opposes the U.S. unreasonable and unilateral management of the Internet, and seeks to work with the international community to build a new international Internet governance system.
