2015 Internet Report
by Grace Githaiga 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

The Internet Society has released the Global Internet Report 2015: Mobile Evolution and Development of the Internet. "While there's no question that the mobile Internet is changing everything, there are still big reasons why people aren't logging on. The 2015 Global Internet Report presents data that shows it's not always a question of if it's available, but rather how cost and a lack of useful content are core to why people are not opting in".

eCitizen - for visitor visa's
by Mark Elkins 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

I'm flying in on Sunday to attend the African DNS workshop. I see that from Yesterday - I should get an eVisa...... and that applications take at least two days and up to seven days.... I hold a UK Passport... ho hum... I'm unsure why there should be an extra 1$ service fee - as the usual $50 should surly include all service fees? The $1 is no biggie - but as the folks who would check visitor visa's now should have less to do - would that not cove the $1???? :-) Part of the instructions read that you can not scan photographs, yet the system depends on you scanning photographs... After uploading a (scanned) picture, I entered the Visa section. I'm confused as to why it wants another picture of me??? I'm hoping that it'll store everything - so every time I (re)apply for a visa - it already knows my previous answers - which generally will not change. Lastly - anyone know why it should take up to seven (working?) days???? Anyone know any of the developers? So glad its not compulsory for the next 60 days.. :-) -- Mark James ELKINS - Posix Systems - (South) Africa mje(a)posix.co.za Tel: +27.128070590 Cell: +27.826010496 For fast, reliable, low cost Internet in ZA: https://ftth.posix.co.za

by Paul M 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Although still in its early stages of deployment, Kenya is ranked 47th in the world & 1st in Africa in percentage of IPv6 adoption and requests made to backbone provider- Akamai. Noteworthy as it ranks ahead of Hong Kong and the UK which have substantially higher Internet penetration rates. www.stateoftheinternet.com/trends-visualizations-ipv6-adoption-ipv4-exhaust…

I support you Washington. Our Visa system should be reciprocal. We suffer more getting visa to other lands.
