Thanks for sharing, Kanini. This issue reeks of sinister intents. For instance, if CA switched off 1.5 million counterfeit devices in 2012 without this DMS, why is it needed now? Furthermore, The CA statement didn't ease the tension at hand, only raised more questions. http://www.nation.co.ke/news/plan-to-tap-phones-raises-eyebrows/1056-381882… This is an election year. From shopping for police armoury to even previous reports of CA investing in equipment to "monitor online spaces", we have every right to be anxious and demand clarity. Regards, Nanjira.

As Facebook and Google collect more data on Africans, their governments will seek to exploit that — Quartz
by Ali Hussein 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

Listers The trend towards less internet privacy is spreading the world over. Western Countries unfortunately have been at the forefront of this worrying trend. Africa is simply catching up. Does this mean that we in Africa should simply give up and let our governments across the continent borrow a dark leaf from their counterparts in Europe and the US (as a lister seemed to suggest last week)? Let us continue to be vigilant and if we are unable to stop them let us at least shine a light on those who will strive to limit our freedoms in the name of 'National Security'. https://qz.com/914708/as-facebook-and-google-collect-more-data-on-africans-… Ali Hussein Principal Hussein & Associates +254 0713 601113 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim "We are what we repeatedly do.

Re: [kictanet] Govt to start phone tapping in war on counterfeittrade

Not to mention that COFEK also claim they weren't consulted. Public trust of both govt and Telcos here is compromised. And it's up to CA especially to clear the air by proactive communication, not just chiming in when public fears have been stoked. It can't be emphasised enough, it's an election year. Fears -unfounded or not- are easily stoked. Additionally, as someone mentioned, CA needs to explain further the "surveillance" equipment it is supposedly deploying. What will be monitored etc. I refer to https://twitter.com/ninanjira/status/819809470544953344 Regards, Nanjira.

A lot of Kenyans use the chinese fakes, and as such a lot of the cariers traffic passes through these "fakes". Could it be that genuinely CA is looking at a purely device focussed and not user content? Consider that the "breaking news" was as a result of leaks by the telco's on the letter sent by the CA and it's requirement of them. I think this is also potentially a valid twist to the narrative.

Re: [kictanet] "Talk to Safaricom" Responses to Day 4 Questions
by Stephen Chege 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

Dear all Below are the responses to Day 4 Questions. Only a few questions were asked on that day. regards Steve Talk-2-Safaricom, Day 4 of 6 (Thursday):-Infrastructure & Universal Access Guideline: Safaricom continues to expand its network beyond urban areas. What has been your experience of Safaricom services in semi-urban and rural areas of Kenya? a) Rural area:-Voice quality, InternetAccess(bandwidth), Mobile Money (MPESA) b) Safaricom contributes to the Universal Service Fund to extend communications to underserved areas- how has this impacted your rural communities c) The government has the National Optical Fiber Infrastructure, to what extend does Safcom use/not use it and why?d) To provide services to under-served areas, the Universal Service Fund has been provision with Safaricom being the largest contributor, how effective is this fund? It's a mix of questions and experiences. Floor is open till midnite today on this one. Lets hear you views. Questions+Comments from Discussions: Barrack Otieno Hi Walu, 1. What is Safaricoms policy on Infrastructure sharing?, my question regards Community ISP's that may want to piggy back on its masts. What are the charges and guidelines? Thanks Barrack, this is a very good question. Safaricom supports infrastructure sharing and we have been hosting (and being hosted) on our competitors infrastructure since we began operations in 1999. Currently we share our towers, BTS rooms, power, fibre and other network elements with our competitors and other organisations. Safaricom shares infrastructure with Airtel, Telkom Kenya, Multichoice, KWS, KBC, Wananchi, JTL, PANG, Liquid Telecom, Access Kenya and many more. Having said that we believe that all licensees have the obligation of investing and building their networks as required under their licence conditions. Going back to your question – yes, we’d be able to host community ISPs depending on what elements they want to share which would also determine the cost. This would also be contingent on the ISPs compliance to statutory licences and regulations. Rosemary Koech My query is in regards to the quality of data and voice the quality heavily deteriorates just past major towns and cities. Is there a plan to ensure better service delivery? Rosemary, we keep this issue top of mind. As you would expect, urban centres tend to have more density when it comes to network coverage to cater for the higher population numbers, however your experience should not be any worse once you leave the major town or city as our coverage is designed to seamlessly cover the majority of the land mass. It would be good if you could share locations for us to review. We have contracted independent consultants P3 to continuously monitor our network performance and take random drive tests to ensure that we continue to connect our customers. In rural areas, we have embarked on a rollout plan that will see us reconfigure our network to better serve rural customers in the future. Kevin Kamonye Do you have/ have you had plans to roll out services in other countries. What are/were the challenges experienced. I think the current Kenya-only limited market share and the demands of better margins from investors could be the key reason that we are always feeling the pinch of your pricing. Also, it seems like am getting congestion along Naivasha Rd; calls sometimes take a while to connect or they do so without any ringing tone. More people are moving into the area, kindly see what to do about this and even better 3G (at least) coverage. Kevin We are currently only licensed to operate in Kenya and so we cannot share experiences of rollout in other countries at this time. However, as mentioned in a separate response to Sidney and a few others, we currently offer the most compelling pricing for data and voice services and remain the top investor in Kenya in terms of mobile infrastructure to enable us continue to provide cutting edge technologies to our customers. Our technical team is investigating the Naivasha Road issue. Grace Bomu I have seen Safaricom branded trenches in satellite towns such as Kiserian but we are yet to get broadband or services such as Safaricom box. Was the fibre exclusively for the security contract? Grace, you’re right the trenches you have seen are part of our rollout project to deliver fibre in Kiserian. Once we finish in lay the infrastructure our team will return to do the last mile connectivity making it available to end users. For now the concentration has been on getting the fiber to the town. On the Big Box, this should be available to you. You can buy the decoder from any of our retail shops for Sh4,999 and have the team set it up for you. See http://www.safaricom.co.ke/TheBigBox/ for more information on the box. Racheal Nakitare We know Safaricom contributes to USF, but how is the same ploughed back to open up our underserved areas? Has Safaricom attempted to apply for the same funds to improve our poor infrastructure especially in peri urban and rural areas. Are we eligible? Kind regards Racheal. Racheal – We had answered this question in some length in earlier answers, do let me know if you need any more clarification beyond that response. ________________________________ Note: All emails sent from Safaricom Limited are subject to Safaricom’s Email Terms & Conditions.

Topic: Think Before You Post! Date: Wednesday, 22 February 2017 Venue: Nairobi Garage, Ngong Road, Piedmont Plaza, 4th Floor Time: 6 – 8 pm Today, many people can easily access the internet either on their cellphones, through free Wi-Fi at educational institutions or workplaces. The thousands of cyber-cafes that have come up in most urban and some rural areas have also increased internet access. Access to digital media technologies means that everyone can now become a publisher (blog) can create and distribute radio (podcast) and TV (video) far and wide especially through social media platforms. But how many people think of the risks they face when they click that button to share some interesting content they have come across or have created? There have been reports in the media of people being arrested <http://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2016/04/08/blogger-david-zawadi-arrested-for…> because of what they post online and others have lost their jobs <https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/22/pr-exec-fired-racist-tweet-ai…> as a result of statements made online. When journalists publish online, they are bound by their code of ethics. What issues should other netizens take into consideration before posting information online? Our guests for the February session of Hacks/Hackers Nairobi #HHNBO will help us address the following questions: 1. What ethical considerations do I need to make before posting online? 2. What are the legal ramifications of what I post online? 3. Do my posts pose a risk to my personal security? In addition, Code for Africa will showcase tools to track deleted tweets. Guest speakers: Henry Maina – Article 19 <https://www.article19.org/pages/en/east-africa.html> Grace Githaiga – Kictanet <https://www.kictanet.or.ke/> Hacks/Hackers Nairobi is a forum where journalists and techies meet on a monthly basis to discuss issues that affect their work. Speak out! Let your voice be heard! To participate in the conversation, please sign up here <http://bit.ly/2kx7IA4> and share the invite widely.
