Just saw this come over the wire: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-lausd-chooses-ipads-for-pilot-2… If you read the article, you'll see classic Microsoft FUD in there about Windows/Office being the most used in businesses, but it's exciting to see a school district be forward thinking and realize that while iOS is not good for programming, tablets are clearly optimum for teaching generally since they are perfect for studying Literature, Science, History, Computer Science, etc... -Adam --- OpenStack for Africa: http://signup.kili.io Musings: https://twitter.com/varud About Adam: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson

20 Jun '13

Listers, [P R E S S R E L E A S E][cid:[email protected]] 19th June April 2013 CCK reviews prices for broadcasting frequencies Broadcasters with more than one frequency per broadcast spot or site will from next month pay higher fees for the spectrum. The Commission today revised the broadcasting frequency fees in an attempt to address the existing disparities in the distribution and use of broadcasting spectrum in the country. The new charging methodology shall ensure fair distribution of broadcasting frequencies, and promote competition in the sub-sector. In addition, the methodology will enhance plurality and diversity of views and opinions as envisaged in the ICT Sector Policy Guidelines and the Kenya Information and Communications Act, CAP 411A. The new charges will be based on the following formula: New frequency fee payable per site = (2n-1) x current fee. Using this formula, the fee payable per site is as follows: No. of Frequencies Zone A (High Congestion Zone) Zone B (Low Congestion Zone) Broadcaster with 1 frequency in one site FM: KShs. 130,000/= p.a.

Africa Tech Shifts from Infrastructure to growing businesses

18 Jun '13

Africa's tech community is embracing policy concerns for the first time at the annual Africa Internet Summit, after focusing on the goal of affordable connectivity for a number of years.

But this year the techies are holding discussions with members of governments and business. Training is being organized by AFRINIC, the regional Internet registry and AfNOG, the regional network operators group. "Previously we were talking to each other as technical people, but we have merged it to include policy makers, government officials, businesses and civil society; people that may not be very technical but their contribution is vital for the growth of internet business in Africa," said Adiel Akplogan, AFRINIC CEO.
