Are Regulators punishing 'Dominant Positions' or rewarding mediocrity? Or is this regulatory thinking outdated?
by Ali Hussein 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

Listers Google is on the crosshairs of the European Regulator for behavior unbecoming of a Dominant Position. Reminds us of companies that were dominant and punished by Regulators the world over:- Remember Microsoft? Intel? Palm? IBM? AT&T? Standard Oil? http://adage.com/article/digital/google-face-eu-charges-antitrust-violation… What Regulators couldn't do the Market took care of. I have no problem with Regulation per se. What I have a problem with is this Old-School interpretation of Dominance when the world around us is shifting every second. Let's reconfigure our thinking on how we define and execute regulation lest we kill the goose that laid the golden egg. Take our local Telco space. If we consider Safaricom playing in one space - data and mobile money then we can easily say Yes! It is dominant. But consider this:- 1. Zuku dominates the Triple Play space. No actually, just the two play space. - Paid TV (debatable that they are dominant here with the proliferation of digital TV) and Internet at home. Strong contenders are entering the market led by Jamii and Safaricom. For some reason Zuku has decided to ignore the phone they give you with every installation. 2. Payments space. Lipa Na Mpesa, Equitel, Visa, MasterCard, PesaPal, white label products from Cellulant, Craft Silicon, Jambopay and other players scrambling to claim a share of the billions in the Payments space. So who is dominant? 3. Remittances:- this is a global $550 billion market with corridors across the world - from source markets in the GCC countries to the U.S. into India, Africa etc. Safaricom does about a billion in remittances, partnering with the likes of Western Union and every bank willing to jump onto the bandwagon. This is not a business that can be geo regulated in Kenya alone but needs a global mindset. Regulators (and yes this includes CA, because in my humble opinion we should be the benchmark the world looks up to since it's now not a doubt that we are Ground Zero on innovation in mobile payments) need to balance the need to nurture innovation and protect consumers and trust the market will take care of the rest. So instead of every regulator the world over scrambling to be the first to punish 'Dominant Positions' let them instead broadly define and ensure adherence to concepts like Net Neutrality, work with consumer protection agencies/organizations and embrace (really embrace) multi-stakeholderism. Let them do this and I have a sneaky suspicion that Wanjiku (and her equivalents) the world over will take care of the rest.

How China Deployed a DDoS against GreatFire
by Moses Karanja 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 (Xposting) Listers, A report released by Citizen Lab on Friday shows how the Chinese (or their affiliates) hijacked millions of IPs globally to pull a DDoS on GreatFire - a circumvention, countersurveillance tool - that helps access blocked pages in China. Dubbed the Great Cannon, the tool has been used to bombard two anti-censorship Git pages with junk traffic, but it just as easily could be used to wage stealthy attacks that silently install malware on the computers of unwitting end users. The report compare it to the secret Internet backbone nodes known as Quantum that the National Security Agency and its British counterpart use to conduct targeted surveillance and who knows who else. Main recommmendation: Use of HTTPS and end-to-end could help a great deal to neutralize the man-in-the-middle.

We are honoured that such well-qualified individuals offered to serve on the Internet Society Board. The election concluded on 6th April and the results have been certified by the Elections Committee. CHAPTERS In the chapters election we had four candidates for the open Trustee seat. Walid Al-Saqaf received 34 votes out of the 88 votes cast Each of the other candidates (and abstentions) received less than this number of votes. A list of all Chapters eligible to vote in the election, indicating which Chapters exercised their voting privilege, is available here. ORGANISATIONS In the Organisation membership election there were three candidates for one Trustee seat. Alice Munyua received 92 weighted votes out of 232 weighted votes cast. Each of the other candidates (and abstentions) received less than this number of votes. In this election, the vote of each organisational member has a weight of between 1 and 6 based on the membership category. It may be of further interest that in the 2015 Election, 88 out of 105 Chapters (84%), and 74 out of 119 Organisation Members (62%) voted. We now move into the challenge period. Challenges can be lodged between now and 21:00 UTC on 17th April 2015, by email to the President of the Internet Society, Kathy Brown <brown(a)isoc.org> with a recital of the reasons for the challenge. The President, after consultation with the Chairs of the Nominations and Elections Committees and the members of the Board of Trustees, shall advise the author of the challenge of the Board's decision within 4 days following the end of the challenge period. The Challenge Response Period ends on Tuesday, 21 April 2015, the date on which the results will be finalized and officially announced.
