As an organization purporting to represent my rights, why do you find it even sensible to "protect me " from details of what you are protecting me against? Or is what you champion not "public interest?" Aggrieved "consumer". On 15 Nov 2016 06:29, "Ali Hussein via kictanet" < kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: Jackline Thanks for your email. 'You have no convincing reason to share it here while engaging them' Are you in court with this? As consumers and an aggrieved party why can't you share with us this 'ongoing engagement'? I find it difficult to comprehend your answer. What compels you to share some cases and not others? Are you not supposed to represent the consumer at large?

Re: [kictanet] Permission Marketing and misuse of customer data by Telcos

Dear Mr. Ali Hussein, We are directly in touch with affected MNO’s and the regulator on the matter. We, therefore, have no convincing reason to share it here while engaging them. FYI, sir, the law is very clear on consumer information privacy especially Article 31(d) of the Constitution and statutes including Consumer Protection Act, 2012. Otherwise, we remain proud as the champion of consumer rights in Kenya, and the apex Federation. The information leaks in the health sector, medical insurance -via smart card – is worse than the breaches from telcos. Thank you for believing in us. We won’t let you down.

This is further proof why the data protection bill that has been bouncing between the AG's office, Cabinet and Parliament is long overdue. Data collection, processing, sharing, storage and destruction are procedures the bill captures but since its drafting ~4 years ago nothing has come of it. Whoever knows anything about the bill can let us know where the hitch is and probably interested parties can draft a data protection bill to ensure these kind of scenarios are managed. -- Moses On 14/11/2016 11:56, kictanet-request(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke wrote: > Send kictanet mailing list submissions to > kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > kictanet-request(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke > > You can reach the person managing the list at > kictanet-owner(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of kictanet digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

To: "Forum@Justnetcoalition. Org" <forum(a)justnetcoalition.org>, internetpolicy <internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org> Net neutrality by the assumed to be head of the US FCC… M Sent: November 11, 2016 8:47 PM Subject: eisenbach on net neutrality -- testimony. http://www.nera.com/content/dam/nera/publications/2014/EisenachOpenInternet… My testimony today advances three main points. First, net neutrality regulation cannot be justified on grounds of enhancing consumer welfare or protecting the public interest. Rather, it is best understood as an effort by one set of private interests to enrich itself by using the power of the state to obtain free services from another – a classic example of what economists term “rent seeking.” Second, the potential costs of net neutrality regulation are both sweeping and severe, and extend far beyond a simple transfer of wealth from one group to another. Third, legitimate policy concerns about the potential use of market power to disadvantage rivals or harm consumers can best be addressed through existing antitrust and consumer protection laws and regulations. To begin, net neutrality regulation cannot be justified as a means of enhancing consumer welfare or advancing or protecting the public interest, and instead is best understood as a classic example of rent seeking.1 This is particularly true of the more extreme flavors of net neutrality regulation advanced by companies like Netflix, which would ban payments from companies like Netflix to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) like AT&T.2 -- Barrack O.
