e-Government TV Dco tonight
by Andrew Limo 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Dear All, The Directorate of e-Government recently embarked on a countrywide Awareness and Education campaign which aimed at sensitizing public servants on the on going modernization of government services using ICTs. The programme was an eye opener. Most civil servants, especially at rural districts have never used email or even the computer. But there were a few surprises though. Kakamega DC Njenga Miiri is a true convert of the technology. From the day he got the request from e-Government to hold a days workshop at Mumias County Hall, Mr. Miiri spared no effort to ensure it was a success. He mobilized all concerned, postponed some commitments that fell on the day and was among the first to arrive at the venue-with his wife! The DC spoke at length on the opportunities that come with the use of ICT in Government. The Bungoma police boss, who had worked a systems administrator at a reputable organization abroad, was a disappointed man. He did not have a computer in his office and so you wouldnt talk to him about connectivity. The programme was carried out in conjunction with Postal Corporation of Kenya using the Posta Surf outlets as training facilities in North Rift and Western Kenya. The day would start with presentations aimed at stimulating interest on the potentials of Information and Communications Technologies to about 50 civil servants. This would be followed by a live demo on how to activate official email addresses which had been set up for them by the Directorate of e-Government on the kenya.go.ke domain in advance. They would then go to the Post Surf Internet cafes where they would be provided with Ksh.100 Surf cards each for a hands-on session. The impact has been tremendous. A number of them, who had never touched the mouse, were now able to email to friends and relatives locally and abroad. They now frequently make enquires with e-government on varied issues like courses and training opportunities. Plans are now underway to roll out the programme in other Districts after the evaluation of the first phase. To make e-Government reality in Kenya, a change of mindset is crucial. There is a lot individuals can accomplish even with little resources once they are convinced that the technology can work for them. In Nairobi, where civil servants had been trained on web development, most government websites now boast some content. Some are beginning to get transactional. They are now more under construction tractors welcoming you to our home pages. The road to realizing e-Government will need more resources and commitment. But there is no doubt the journey has begun. Kindly watch e-Government documentary starting today on: KTN and NTV Wed. 9th August 2006 -9:30 pm Citizen TV Wed. 16th August 2006 -8.45pm KBC Channel One Thurs 17th August 2006-9.30pm Kind regrads, Andrew Limo --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Dear Limo, I watched the TV documentary. Many many congratulations, It was great to see the government efforts. This will go along way in developing the ICT sector and Kenya as a whole. I would however request recognition of other private sector participants. It is made to seem only Telkom and Posta are providing ICT services Congratulations again to you and Juma for an effort well done! -- Joseph Mucheru Chairman Telecommunications Service Providers Association of Kenya (TESPOK) 14th Floor, Bruce House - Standard Street P O Box 27589 -00506 Nairobi, KENYA Tel: +254-20-245036 Cell: +254-722522135 http://www.tespok.co.ke DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php On Aug 9, 2006, at 6:04 PM, Andrew Limo wrote: > Dear Kiplist, > The Directorate of e-Government recently embarked on a > countrywide Awareness and Education campaign which > aimed at sensitizing public servants on the on going > modernization of government services using ICTs. > The programme was an eye opener.

Ade Ojuri, CEO, Junisat, Nigeria AFRICAN VoIP FORUM WORKSHOPS WORKSHOP 1: Corporate Users - Introduction to VoIP An interactive workshop Sunday Folayan, MD, Skannet Nigeria 9am 1pm Monday 21 August 2006 While VoIP is set to change the landscape of the communications industry, it is already being used by a number of traditional Telephone companies to connect their regional offices, while on a smaller scale, it is being used by Small Offices/Home Offices who want to trim their communications expenses. The advantages of using VoIP technology includes simplicity, flexibility, cost savings as well as finally removing the huge constraint of circuit switched architecture, and taking advantage of the ubiquitous nature of IP, which is fast becoming a de-facto medium of world-wide communication. This hands-on workshop is designed to introduce participants to the VoIP technology, using the Asterisk Open Source PBX software. Participants will amongst others be exposed to the following: * Introduction to the VoIP technology * Basic definitions and building blocks * Transpprt protocols and packetization * Public Swiched Networks and characteristics * Protocols for VoIP call control * Introduction to the Asterisk Open Source PBX * Configuring simple VoIP Servers * Configuring simple VoIP Clients * Quality of Service (QoS) Issues * Services and implementation issues * Overview of large scale implementations and issues At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to setup and deploy an Asterisk-based PBX system which will work either via IP or PSTN and be capable of Least Cost Routing. WORKSHOP 2: International links for ISPs & Telecom Operators Mawuli Tse, Sales Director, Africa, iBasis 9am 12pm, Wednesday 23 August 2006 * The VoIP landscape - from PC-to-PC to VoB * Carrier level interconnections * Quality monitoring on a VoIP network * Selecting operators - what to consider WORSHOP 3: VoIP - Survival strategies for telcos, ISPs and cyber-cafes Russell Southwood, CEO, Balancing Act, UK 2pm 5pm, Wednesday 23 August 2006 VoIP will change the business model for telcos, ISPs and cyber-cafes. Beyond the ever-present hype, it will begin to transform business fundamentals in some of the following way: threatening existing international revenues; lowering the cost of entry to the voice market; and creating new opportunities like mobile VoIP. All of this will upset traditional markets and the question is: will you survive this shake-out? The workshop has three sessions of just under an hour each with a coffee break. Each of the sessions will have time for questions and answers and sessions 2 and 3 will have interactive exercises. The three sessions deal with the following: Session 1: The business opportunities VoIP offers In this session Russell will look at the kinds of business models that have arisen elsewhere and how things might develop in Nigeria. He will look at the business models for businesses like Skype and Vonage to illustrate how the business model for retail VoIP is developing in North America and Europe. He will then look in greater detail at the type of opportunities that might arise in Africa, including: Pre-pay VoIP calling cards IP-payphones Skype/Vonage clones Campus-wide IP-mobility solutions Municipal networks Corporate IP calling via VPNs Push-to-talk Home broadband Triple/Quad play (including mobile TV) Mobile VoIP VoIP peering He will explain the relationship between these opportunities and the changes in regulation that will enable them to flourish legally. Session 2: Assessing investment in new VoIP opportunities VoIP produces very different types of opportunities. For example, grey market operators have taken advantage of the price arbitrage opportunities that exist. In other words, for example, they are able to compete on price against artificially high international calling prices. Once VoIP is more widely legalised, then this level of price arbitrage opportunity will decline or disappear as prices come down in the market. It will be important to look at the relationship between quality and pricing and to understand what latitude exists for differentiating different service offers. Some opportunities will allow new players to enter the market relatively cheaply whereas others will require capital investment in new infrastructure. The level of capital required along with an assessment of the risks inherent in different propositions will help clarify where any potential should be made and whether a new opportunity is suitable for your company. Lastly the session will examine timing issues and their impact. Some opportunities like those related to price-arbitrage are short or medium-term. Others like mobile VoIP are longer term because the technology is not yet available. All of these factors will be gathered into a simple matrix and scored so that participants can see where the better opportunities lie in Africa. Session 3: VoIP pricing and service strategies in a competitive market The last session of the workshop will look pricing and service strategies and how they develop in a competitive market. Russell Southwood will explain how operators tackle these issues and the way in which different approaches to service and pricing are reflected in the service offer to customers. He will examine the relationship between cost and the price of providing different levels of service. After this briefing, participants will be split into two groups to devise pricing and service strategies for two different companies, one a start-up and the other an existing operator. The two groups will then come together and show what approaches they have arrived at. The group will then look at how it is possible to respond to competitor pricing in ways that differentiate the customer offer.
