Internet Telcos, Network Operators or Large ISPs : Will a local competition for breaking the One-TeraBit/sec barrier work?
by aki 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

--You can watch the cloud form around the jets and hear the sound barrier being broken with a sonic boom/bang as the jets break the speed of sound. This is what network engineers cannot visualise but truly engineering inspiration-- ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BArpqYspIgU ) It seems to me if there was a kenyan content competition to break the above bandwidth barrier, there would be long term gains on price reductions and capacities utilised. Basically the competition can be run for the most viewed content video hosted locally that will touch the One TeraBit/sec mark in about 30 days or so since being uploaded? Any takers, I hope.. Corrections welcome. Thank you. :-)

Re: [kictanet] Bitange for President? Driving Knowledge Economy? OnlineInterview with PS Ndemo

Mr Ndemo, Your responses give me a lot of hope and I now believe all these things are possible. My question, Is it possible for people on this list to vote for one of your theme's and lobby the govt to implement and get funding in the 2012 budget? I'm proposing one theme at a time but perhaps we could take up the whole lot and push for implementation.

From the census, there are about 200,000 households here. These homes will be in urban set up where we shall supply all utilities. Through incentives, encourage other investments such as solar energy, retail stores, dried beef industry, packaged camel and cow milk etc. Every person will have a smart ID which will be used in all transactions (Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for end to end government). Through the realigned policy the Government will no longer be involved in releif food supply (they have never been good at this world over). Assistance to those who will not have food will be provided in voucher form through the smart ID. They will then redeem their points at the retail store (Uchumi possibly)and purchase the food of their choice. Since the people will have better housing with utilities and food of their choice, health problems will be minimized thus reallocating funds from curative to preventive health care. This is why I say Affordable health is an outcome of dealing with other related variables. We have spent more than Ksh. 12 billion to mitigate against hunger in Northern Kenya on an emergency. The solution I propose will cost Ksh. 40 billion but you will never here of hunger or feel the shame of being Kenyan again. You recall we can recover the same amount through e-procurement. Other savings will be utilized to scale up improved livelihood for all Kenyans. In other parts of the country we shall mob up the youth and take them to the new mega projects of Lamu and the rail links (this is what China and US did when they had a youth bulge) to build infrastructure that will ensure sustained job security. The resources will come from the KKV and converted to provide sustainable projects. Because of the wide spread wages and economies of scale, we can now provide cheap health insurance that will ensure affordable healthcare. Regards Ndemo.

by Fiona Asonga 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Hallo Listers, Other the last couple of days there has been growing interest in the status of the government build National Optical Fiber Backbone Infrastructure. Since last week PS Dr. Ndemo and his team at the MOIC have been engaging operators in discussions to find the best way to maximize value on the government built NOFBI infrastructure. In summary the outcome of the meetings has been that; 1. NOFBI is accessible to all interested licensed operators who shall provide the last mile solutions to their customers. 2. A management committee comprising of various operators and government has been put in place to finalize on suitable pricing and ensure as many people as possible have access to the backbone infrastructure and ensure that it is eventually self-sustainable. 3. The management committee shall share quarterly reports on the progress It is the hope of all those involved that the use of this shared platform will be a contributing factor to the reduced costs of internet access.

Online Interview with PS Ndemo: Day 1 of 5 ICT in Education
by Joseph McDonald 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Some of the problems Kenya have are created or ignored by rent seekers. e.g Hunger is big business for some people in government because it provides opportunity to circumvent procurement processes ,they benefit from transportation and buying of the maize. Maize prices is controlled by cartels in government. The energy sector is controlled by cartels. Some drastic, deliberate and courageous leadership is required to achieve the vision of people like Daktari. The other thing is that, Daktari doesn't have to wait till he is president,he can influence those changes now within government.

ISP suspends service over Kshs 1/-
by Francis Hook 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

I know ISPs are not charities but I found it rather ridiculous for Zuku to suspend a client's connection over Kshs 1. Reminds me of a time a company sent an invoice for Kshs 0.05....with a Kshs 3.5 postage stamp attached. I suppose a FA system properly integrated with CRM would have flagged this kind of thing to keep the customer connected and carry forward the shilling to the next month. I think we are a really long way down the road when it comes to customer service...never mind we cannot get 100% uptime...and never mind the provider is supposed to credit clients when they fall below 97% uptime...and the client does not raise a fuss over that. --- Francis Hook +254 733 504561

Yawe for Post Master General - Aluta Continua
by robert yawe 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hi Listers, My journey to Postal Corporation as Post Master General is still alive and kicking, as we get closer to the elections I believe the chances shall improve. As I await the appointment I continue to regularly visit various post offices so as to keep my finger on the pulse of the organisation. Most of my visits reveal the continuing decay and at times wonder if the organisation can really be salvaged. Yesterday on visited the City Square Post Office and was shocked to find that they still have posters hanging advertising the Zaine service. I have had of snail mail but it has never been brought home so effectively. http://quadrantshift.co.ke/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Photo_062811_001.jpg Such experiences can be most heart wrenching but on my way out I saw a poster/model that shows the spread of Postal's network and my drive and determination to become the Post Master General was rekindled. http://quadrantshift.co.ke/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Photo_062811_002.jpg Comrades, e-commerce is not going anywhere in this country without the total and absolute participation of Postal Corporation and for this reason I shall continue my struggle, aluta continua and the giant shall again arise to the challenge. Regards PS. I have finally come to appreciate the camera on my phone.

Zuku (DTH) TV -- 3 transponders over NSS12 satellite East Africa Beam
by aki 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Seems Zuku TV already have 2 transponders on NSS12 satellite ( SES ), while the third could be for VSAT apps ( am assuming will be iDirect X3 ). The two Zuku TV active (unconfirmed) transponders are on Ku Band 11105Mhz ( FTA channels 18-50 ) & 11604Mhz ( CryptoWorks encryption channels 56-81 ). I read somewhere that final target will be 80 channels. We are already on the way to DTT, I wonder why Wananchi would choose to go back to satellite which means end users will have to invest in Ku-Band sat dishes, LNBs, dish mounts, installation teams with spectrum analyzers and not to forget that during the rainy season we can expect Ku Band not to behave too well? With DTT, just one antenne and dvb is needed, come rain or sunshine. My knowledge of this sector is very rusty therefore I'd like to request if we have any broadcast engineers onlist who would care to share some insights into DTT versus Sat Transponder spacing and costing. Is it not much cheaper to go DTT on 8Mhz spacing with Mpeg4 than Sat Transponder spacing with Mepg 2? The other reason I ask is the VSAT transponder that Wananchi have chosen over NSS12, when will it be possible for us to create teleports right here in kenya with facilities for inland nations so that we not only use the national infrastructure but also provide extra services. Congratulations to Wananchi on such a commited project and hope it will be of success in the long term. Corrections are welcome. :-) Thank you.

To KICTB for next year's grants : Digital TV local content
by aki 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

To concide with the DTT changeover in 2012, I hope next year the some of the grants can go to some local content production companies who can create a one-stop studio and infrastructure sets to enable artists and content developers a plaform for content creativity. Will we see a start of "Warner Studios" at some point? These studios will have a feed to e.g Signet where the production company may own its own channel, or sell the content onto main broadcasters. Also for public interest, have the channel rates on e.g. Signet been decided between content and teletext services? Hope this information can be published so as to help many out there who maybe planning various involvements in the sector. Thank you.

Fw: Fibre Optic Cable cuts
by robert yawe 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hi Listers, Today I was in the Westlands area and came across Telkom/Orange staff laying fibre optic cable through what was professionally done ducting. At a depth of over 7 feet this cable is definitely more secure than the one I saw in Kilimani area lying literally in the surface. The interesting thing is that all this was done when Telkom/KPTC had only 350,000 landlines across the country. We seriously need to do something about our work ethic and professionalism if we are going to surface to 2020 let alone 2030.

Local Content - Beyond lip service
by robert yawe 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hi Listers, I have been following the activities of a local developer who has made great strides in creating a platform for hosting local content through his web site www.eziki.tv. Unfortunately due to the high cost of local hosting he has been forced, like many other brilliant young men and women, to host overseas where the cost are low but then they suffer the hit from bandwidth limitations. This young man has taken initiative and put down his resources to prove a concept and I believe he deserves direct local investment from funds such as Tandaa, Kazi Kwa Vijana and many others instead of us asking dreamers to present proposals and business plans for cloud based products. I would like to propose we pick up this has a project and bring the site back home and empower the team to move to greater heights before some VC from the US grabs him then we start lamenting. Please visit the site and see what is on offer, you can also view my channel http://www.eziki.tv/quadrantshiftafrica on which I will move most of my rants and raves for posterity and for easier access by those who have an issue with reading long text. Samsung and LG should look at this modem and see how to incorporate it in the new IP TVs and publicise access to eziki.tv as well as youtube and all those other sites.

Introduction of Power rationing for industrial zones : A result of failure of national planning policies?
by aki 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

This game is repeated each time we are in drought years, with the quick "import" mentality rush to get in fdi partners or the rest to invest buy/lease diesel guzzling generators to compliment the shortfalls is becoming too routine. More results of shortcuts implemented over years of failed national planning policies and excuses that is resulting in many direct/indirect losses in the economy. This time around there are multiple excuses, from high demands during peak hours to breakdowns/maintainence of generators to delays in security guarantees for investors. High demands during peak hours is an incremental event and did not just appear overnight, water levels did not drop overnight and nor did investors just apply to supply power. We have known for years our climate is changing patterns ( no thanks to the major polluters i.e the developed nations who contribute most towards the climate behaviour ), rainfall patterns in our region has been out of sync for at least the past 10 years so. We have all the data, the remote sensing abilities and infrastructure to maintain an intelligent national network of early warning systems to counter gaps yet we are only capable of the ultimate solution = power rationing. Surely even economic planners must be enraged by this nonsense. ( Corrections very welcome ) Full story : http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate+News/Power+rationing+signals+f… Rgds. :-)

Re: [kictanet] [ke-internetusers] Coverage of migration licence issue by a few media houses unreasonable
by bitange＠jambo.co.ke 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Macharia, Thank you for taking time out to go through the article. Next time I will confine myself to 700 words. It would be nice if MOA takes my offer of a public debate to trash out some of the issues. It will be nice for our future Media. I think we have fundermental issues that affect a free and fair Media in our country. We must be sensitive not only to legal requirement on objectivity but diversity of opinion. Most articles distorted the facts. For example, it was stated the company flouted legal requirement on shares when indeed the policy allows up to three years on this. The Ugandan and Rwanda story did not help although NMG made some apologies in tiny print somewhere far from where it was reported. Once more I thank you for your concern. It shows we actually have responsible journalists. Regards Ndemo.

Anyway, following your complaint below, I was appalled that any self-respecting newspaper would willfully distort the argument of a contributor; especially where it has a vested interest in the debate at hand. I therefore took the trouble to get the original article you submitted. I compared it closely with the one eventually published in the Daily Nation of today, July 27. While the published version did go through an editors pen, like everything else that finds space in the newspaper, I am pretty satisfied that there were no distortions or dilution of your submission. However you gave us some 1,140 words, and the article had to be condensed to fit in a space that takes just under 700 words. Obviously some of your comments had to give way, but I think anyone would agree that there were no material changes.
