Re: [kictanet] Kenic board resignation, new CEO

@lordmwesh, 1st to say it sounds like a bad dream for KENIC if this is true. Remember KENIC is in the global ^guiness^ book of IT as a model top level country code organisation. It is therefore necessary that we work to ensure that it does remain so. Kenya must continue to provide leadership in the region and am not sure this sounds lke something to export. But since the Chair -our very own Alice - promisd an AGM this month, guess we can give her the month and see then decided on the extra ordinary if necessary. I do hope when we do finally meet, we shall be able to be know the truth, the lies and the myths. walu ------------------------------ On Thu, Jul 19, 2012 6:07 PM AST (Arabian) Kivuva wrote: >Probably Burachara relinquished his position at Nairobinet on taking the >CEO's position at KENIC.

Tribute to Eng. Ochola
by waudo siganga 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Just read in the paper on the death of Eng. Atieno Ochola (Tieni) of CCK. This was one of those hardworking people in Kenyan ICT who has rendered many years of service quietly. I will remember her as someone who was ever smiling. Tieni was an "A" student throughout her academic life which took her through Alliance Girls and the University of Nairobi where she was the only girl in the Electrical Engineering class. Pole to her family and colleagues at CCK. Waudo

Friends This is a great loss to many, many of us that interacted with the late Tieni over a long period of time. And a great loss to the ICT sector in Kenya. I have known this dynamic lady for many years since our days at the U of Nairobi. She was one of the few women that studied engineering when it was not fashionable for women to do so. Indeed, it was common to find one woman in a class of 30 which usually elicited various (I must add not so friendly) reactions. To survive in such environment for a women meant being tough, fending of stereotypes from both men and women, students, faculty and staff. I hope she kept good diaries (if not an autobiography) from which her story could be gleaned as an inspiration to younger generations.

Yes, Government Researchers Really Did Invent the Internet
by Alice Munyua 25 Jul '12

Yes, Government Researchers Really Did Invent the Internet <http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2012/07/23/yes-government-…> http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2012/07/23/yes-government-… By Michael Moyer | July 23, 2012 ?It?s an urban legend that the government launched the Internet,? writes <http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444464304577539063008406518.h…> Gordon Crovitz in an opinion piece in today?s /Wall Street Journal/. Most histories cite the Pentagon-backed ARPANet <http://www.scientificamerican.com/report.cfm?id=Internet-at-40> as the Internet?s immediate predecessor, but that view undersells the importance of research conducted at Xerox PARC labs in the 1970s, claims Crovitz. In fact, Crovitz implies that, if anything, government intervention gummed up the natural process of laissez faire innovation. ?The Internet was fully privatized in 1995,? says Crovitz, ?just as the commercial Web began to boom.? The implication is clear: the Internet could only become the world-changing force it is today once big government got out of the way. But Crovitz?s story is based on a profound misunderstanding of not only history <http://www.scientificamerican.com/report.cfm?id=Internet-at-40>, but technology. Most egregiously, Crovitz seems to confuse the Internet <http://www.scientificamerican.com/report.cfm?id=Internet-at-40>?at heart, a set of protocols designed to allow far-flung computer networks to communicate with one another?with Ethernet, a protocol for connecting nearby computers into a local network. (Robert Metcalfe <http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=using-the-internets-histor…>, a researcher at Xerox PARC who co-invented the Ethernet protocol, today tweeted <https://twitter.com/BobMetcalfe/status/227426481901559808> tongue-in-cheek ?Is it possible I invented the whole damn Internet??) The most important part of what we now know of as the Internet is the TCP/IP protocol, which was invented by Vincent Cerf <http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=internet-pioneer-cerf> and Robert Kahn. Crovitz mentions TCP/IP, but only in passing, calling it (correctly) ?the Internet?s backbone.? He fails to mention that Cerf and Kahn developed TCP/IP while working on a government grant <http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=internet-pioneer-cerf>. Other commenters, including Timothy B. Lee at Ars Technica <http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/07/wsj-mangles-history-to-argue-gov…> and veteran technology reporter Steve Wildstrom <http://techpinions.com/wsjs-internet-history-is-way-off/8080>, have noted that Crovitz?s misunderstandings run deep. He also manages to confuse the World Wide Web <http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=long-live-the-web> (incidentally, invented by Tim Berners Lee <http://www.scientificamerican.com/report.cfm?id=web-20-anniversary> while working at CERN, a government-funded research laboratory) with hyperlinks, and an internet?a link between two computers?with THE Internet. But perhaps the most damning rebuttal <http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-mo-who-invented-internet-20120723,…> comes from Michael Hiltzik, the author ?Dealers of Lightning <http://www.amazon.com/Dealers-Lightning-Xerox-PARC-Computer/dp/0887309895>,? a history of Xerox PARC that Crovitz uses as his main source for material. ?While I?m gratified in a sense that he cites my book,? writes Hiltzik, ?it?s my duty to point out that he?s wrong. My book bolsters, not contradicts, the argument that the Internet had its roots in the ARPANet, a government project.? In truth, no private company would have been capable of developing a project like the Internet, which required years of R&D efforts spread out over scores of far-flung agencies, and which began to take off only after decades of investment. Visionary infrastructure projects such as this are part of what has allowed our economy to grow so much in the past century. Today?s op-ed is just one sad indicator of how we seem to be losing our appetite for this kind of ambition. *About the Author:* Michael Moyer is the editor in charge of technology coverage at Scientific American.

Re: [kictanet] Death of landlines
by Angela Nganga- Mumo 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

Dear Listers, It is indeed true that our copper fixed line continues to be affected due to vandalism and sabotage. But we continuosly make efforts to not only repair the lines as quickly as possible but also to put in place new measures to reduce the impact using fibre rings and other wireless solutions. Its our sincere hope that now the legal framework is in place to have stiffer penalties for convicted vandals that the incidences will minimise. As Lordmwesh indicates below we also offer redundancy through wireless at no extra cost for all post paid customers. More details on this can be obtained from your account manager or at any of our shops. On the issue of waiting lists this ordinarily shouldn't be the case for areas with infrastructure you can get a landline in 5 working days including the survey. Ali Hussein please contact me with the specific case for further assistance. Its also important to mention, if you allow me, that all faults need to be reported to customercare there are still many customers who contact the technician they know or visit an exchange which means the reports aren't easy to track leading to delays in repair. We look forward to being of continued service.

Multistakeholderism is it an oxymoron? will it survive the times?
by Barrack Otieno 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

Listers, I have been observing various initiatives that have been established under the multistakeholder approach and i must admit that we have a problem there are lots of murmurs suggesting flaws in communication or decision making structures, i i have also noticed that there is a lot of emphasis on personalities and groupings of like minded people as opposed to institutions which appears really harmful at the beginning but is characterised by strained relationships which stifflle synergies that can be achieved through knowledge and information sharing based on experiences. Could this be the very achilles heel of the multistakeholder model? What should we do to redeem it? Best Regards -- Barrack O.

Listers, Does anyone know what is required to promote African film/production in Kenya (content that is from Africa, not necessarily Kenyan). This is African content that is already produced and the producer looking to promote it in Kenya. What are the requirements, process and channels of promotion? Any contact would also be highly appreciated. Feel free to write to me directly.
