Re: [kictanet] AS DN announces their set top boxes where are the two CAs? COFEK Response

Dear Mr Mbugua, Many thanks for your well-informed (… save for the unfair attack on us at the end) critique (which we have re-published on our website). Clearly, both Communications and Competition Authorities have allowed excessive leeway to the trio of KTN, NTV and CitizenTv to stifle industry competition to the pain of consumers. It is unfortunate that the 3 media houses declined adverts of their competitors – but wake up to a prominent back page story of “advanced set top boxes” being “on the way” as if DVBT-2 type-approved STB’s don’t exist. Kenya is using DVBT-2. Perhaps the consortium will be using DVBT-3 or 4 or whichever qualifies to be “advanced”. Let us leave that to CAK of Waiyaki Way. The CAK of Haile Selassie Avenue must intervene, possibly at their convenience. Truth however is that - never again and never again – should Kenya’s ICT sector allow excessive dominance of 1, 2 or 3 players – which decide what is news for Kenya, when and how. As of now, we have been restrained to comment on these issues since we are parties to the active suit before the Supreme Court on digital migration. We may appear to be “quiet” but if the 3 media houses control over 80% of the news outlets, and you want to criticize them – will they have any airtime or print-space for you? The answer is no. At Cofek, we blame the so-called digital government for playing ping-pong on digital migration. Senior GoK officials are shielding the 3 media houses for selfish gain. At least we know but can’t name 3 of them. They know themselves. Yet we find solace in the fact that one day, just one day, Kenya will fully migrate. The dominance, chest-thumping and egos will go. Media empires will slowly but surely crumble and … become castles in the wind – as they tumble to competition from hundreds of more focused and niche-based news outlets. They can wine and celebrate the Supreme Court recent ruling. They can make more advertisements on simulcast. They can block competition and criticism. They can peddle their evident influence. They can compel people to read their self-made news about themselves. They can do all manner of things. But let them know or be told two things – consumer is king/queen and innovation is an unstoppable wrecker. It will catch up with them. Like the story of mobile telephony versus defunct Telkom Kenya landline. That time is coming. That time will come. So God help NMG, RMS and SG! Kind regards, David Kedode www.cofek.co.ke From: kictanet [mailto:kictanet-bounces+hotline=cofek.co.ke@lists.kictanet.or.ke] On Behalf Of James Mbugua via kictanet Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2015 3:03 PM To: The Consumers Federation of Kenya (Cofek) Subject: [kictanet] AS DN announces their set top boxes where are the two CAs? Who’s who between Communications Authority and Competition Authority? So, today, Daily Nation decided to lead the back page with the news that the three media houses that run KTN, Citizen and NTV will be importing over 1 million of their own set top boxes to retail at about Sh2500 by end of March. http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Advanced-set-top-boxes-on-the-way/-/1056/25872… 150,000 of them will be launched within this month. It sounds like big news and indeed, occupies a prominent space in the paper until, wait, haven’t there been set top boxes being sold in the country on the streets, shops, supermarkets everywhere? Yes, but belonging to Multichoice GOTV, Startimes and independent set top box vendors. So, why is DN packaging its plans as big news? Precisely because acting against the spirit and letter of the Kenya Communications Amendment Act (2009) as well as other Restrictive Trading countermeasures, the three outlets have been stifling information about the existence of other players in the digital migration field even as they seek to tie up digital migration in court. In the meantime, they are importing their own equipment and planning to use their platforms to exclusion of others to market themselves. This is illegal. The Communications Authority of Kenya must begin to enforce the regulations and demand that these media houses, accord the same amount of fair coverage to all players in the digital migration arena or risk losing their signal distribution license. Licenses must come with terms and conditions and one of those should be that you cannot use existing licenses to unfairly black out competition. So far both the regulator and the other players have been very tolerating of this consortium but it should be clear to them that it doesn’t mean that they cannot be held up in the same courts of law they are using. Other Free to Air channels like Kiss, K24, Family, GBS etc can contest the award of the signal distribution license to a cartel that has shown it is willing to abuse its market power to retain market share. Vertical integration of media houses : - TV, Radio, Newspaper can also be challenged to enforce fair competition not to have the newspapers be used by their owners to advertise the consortium’s set top boxes while refusing to carry adverts for rivals platforms like GoTV or Bamba TV? Both the Competition Authority and the CAK have a responsibility to speak up on this issue. Cofek, in the meantime after wreaking havoc in the migration process with their busy body ways in 2013, have been unusually quiet in the face of very anti-consumer behaviour by the three media houses.

Data Privacy issues, Permission Marketing and nuisance SMSs
by Ali Hussein 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Listers Apologies for cross posting. In the wake of a global scare on the security of consumer data, hacking incidences (the latest is closer to home where individuals were arrested when they threatened to release confidential NIC Bank customer information). http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate-News/-NIC-Bank-database-hackin… The Obama administration has issued far reaching guidelines on this issue. President Barack Obama wants companies to notify consumers within 30-days of a personal data breach. Despite a slew of pressing issues facing the administration and a potentially unsympathetic Republican-led congress, the White House today unveiled <http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/01/12/fact-sheet-safeguardi…>a handful of legislative proposals aimed at safeguarding consumer privacy, continuing along a path established by its privacy and big data report published in May. The administration's Personal Data Notification and Protection Act is being pitched in part as beneficial to companies handling consumer data, since it provides a set of rules for data breaches that applies on a national level. Read on:- http://adage.com/article/privacy-and-regulation/obama-firms-notify-data-bre… I also picked an old article in the CIO Magazine about a Mass SMS Campaign by Safaricom sometime last year on behalf of the Deposit Protection Fund. See below:- http://www.cio.co.ke/news/main-stories/we-did-not-share-consumer-data,-safa… This is a good opportunity for both Govt, through policy making and security organs and the private sector to work together to create a solid framework that will enhance commerce, protect sensitive personal data and of course guard the country against external cyber-security aggression. Anyone on this list know of any such initiative? *Ali Hussein* Tel: +254 770 906375/ 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> Blog: www.alyhussein.com Any information of a personal nature expressed in this email are purely mine and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the organizations that I work with.

Data Privacy and Protection
by cdohnio 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Something that has come out this moring that I don't think we're paying, as a nation, enough attention to. 2 criminals were arrested after they threatened to release confidential NIC Bank customer information: http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate-News/-NIC-Bank-database-hackin… The article is extremely sparse with details on the actual hacking leaving so many unanswered questions. How did they get access to this data? Inside job? Hack over the internet? Banks are probably the most secure systems we have that we don't know how it was done makes it so we can't protect ourselves from similar attacks. How and who caught them? What has the bank done to prevent this from happening again? Have they informed their customers of the breach? Are they obligated to? These are the most important that come to mind right now though I'm sure there are others. Kenya's lack of a Data Protection law has left us, the consumer, extremely vulnerable, unable to even enforce the need for data protection amongst companies here. All the best, princelySid *Twitter:* @princelySid | *Website: *cdohnio.blogspot.com

Re: [kictanet] KENYA’S TECH START UPS AND FLUFF

Great response from Nikolai. On the issue of 'Fluff' I suspect every market has its share of it (Starting with Silicon Valley itself). The rule of thumb in Technology Investing in Start ups is that less than 10% make it to become successful companies. So 'Fluff' is part of the ecosystem. *Ali Hussein* Tel: +254 770 906375/ 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> Blog: www.alyhussein.com Any information of a personal nature expressed in this email are purely mine and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the organizations that I work with.

Kenya's Tech Startup scene leaves investors underwhelmed
by Ali Hussein 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Listers A lot of discussions in this area over the last few years. Are the chickens coming home to roost? Have we focused too much on competitions, donor funded money and shared spaces and a lot less on commercially viable ideas/nurturing what is there towards commercial exploitation? My sense is that we now need to move to 3.0 to enable realize the potential of our startups.

NET NEUTRALITY ISSUES AND HOW THEY COME HOME TO ROOST
by Ali Hussein 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

Listers Apologies for cross-posting. The above refers. This list has been vocal (and I hope will continue to be) on the above subject despite silence from the policy makers. An incident in India brings this closer home than is comfortable for some of us. This involves Airtel. Below I quote a press release from the Indian Civil Society:- Airtel India, one of the leading mobile and Internet providers in the country recently announced that it will charge pre paid mobile customers more for using certain over the top services – starting off with VoIP services (such as Skype and Viber). The costs are in the range of Rs. 16 per minute of Skype, a huge cost to those users who access the Internet through the mobile route. While Airtel has backed down and reversed its aforesaid plans following a public outcry, the implications of the original announcement are clear – Airtel has indicated that it is willing to act as a gate-keeper of the Internet: restricting access to certain content / applications / services based on how much you can pay. See attached for the full release. You can see the concerns. It is unilateral actions like these without an official policy guideline that is worrying. Which brings me to the reason why I'm writing this note. Again I ask:- 1. If Telcos in Kenya decide to behave the same way what is our recourse? Remember Airtel is active here too. 2. What is our official government (People of Kenya) position on Net Neutrality. This an issue that CANNOT be wished away and we urge policy makers to come out strongly on this issue. By the way positions like these will mean that not every one is happy about what that Position will be but at least we will have a guideline. *Ali Hussein* Tel: +254 770 906375/ 713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim <http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim> Blog: www.alyhussein.com Any information of a personal nature expressed in this email are purely mine and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the organizations that I work with.
